Why Life Coaching?
Coaching can be many things to many people. The content and type of session depends on the needs and goals of you, the client. Coaching practices vary as widely as the coaching professionals who offer their services.
Coaching is different from counseling, yet it is on the same continuum. If someone needs and wants to embark on deep trauma work or grief work, then counseling techniques are an appropriate choice. If they want to assess where their life is now and where they’re going, then coaching could be a great choice.
Coaching is similar to forward-moving styles of counseling, such as Solution Focused Therapy or Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. In fact many coaches use the former in their work, while our Martha Beck training incorporated the latter therapy.
Coaching is unlike counseling work that deals with serious past unresolved issues. Both have their place.
I worked with women for many years, in women and violence support services and as a life skills worker, before my first formal training in masters level counseling at City University followed by Martha Beck life coaches training.
Over the years, as I have shifted within myself, I’ve moved into a very positive, forward way of looking at the world. That’s why coaching is such a great fit for me and why I’m able to help women move forward in their life. That naturally is reflected in my work with my clients at Ellen Besso Coaching.
