Mental Health Coaching

An unprecedented number of clergy, ministry workers and professional individuals are adding coaching as an effective tool when helping people.  Why? Because those who do not need counseling or therapy, still seek assistance in navigating life transitions, goal setting, and working through moments needing more clarity, purposeful intention, and motivation to effectively make changes.

Coaching is different than counseling because it is focused on the present and future, not the past.

It is NOT:

  • Clinical
  • It does not assess problems
  • It does not create a treatment plan
  • It does not need the role of a counselor

It provides a safe, trustworthy, relational connection which supports clients in the process of rebuilding:

  • Self-discovery
  • Personal growth
  • Personal responsibility
  • Taking the next steps in their life journey based upon constructive and beneficial priorities

This enables us to provide accountability and clarification in building an internal plan of success based on personal, internal motivations for positive life changes.

Life transitions in many relationships and situations are prompting more individuals to take advantage of hiring life coaches to help them navigate:

  • Career/Vocational/Education/Business/Ministry/Leadership/Finances
  • Life purpose/direction/goals
  • Spiritual Issues/Development
  • Individual/Family Transitions
  • Relationships/Boundaries
