Therapy, Coaching, Consulting….

Curious which path fits right now?

Let’s talk about where you are in the change cycle and what you want next:

Choose therapy to heal psychological pain and improve mental health. You often work with patterns rooted in the past. Clinicians diagnose and treat.

Choose consulting to get expert solutions to a defined problem. Consultants analyze, recommend, and can help you implement.

Choose coaching when you’re ready to turn your intrinsic desire into lasting skillful action to move forward. Your answers + coach’s presence, tools, and process.

Why coaching works when you’re ready to move

Coaching is powered by your own desire for change. As a coach I help you:

• turn a vague wish into a clear outcome,

• convert insight into doable steps,

• practice new behaviors until they stick,

• stay accountable with compassion, not pressure.

I use various practical tools. These include values clarification, triggers, strengths, and needs mapping, Human Design, goal visualization, habit architecture, cognitive reframes, mindfulness and somatic techniques, feedback loops, and accountability rhythms.

The tools are means, not the focus; the focus is you, resourced and self-directed.

My Work Uses Prochaska’s Transtheoretical Model (TTM)

One of the key tools I use is the TTM model because change unfolds in stages. I meet you where you are:

Pre-contemplation Stage (“I don’t think I need to change.”)

You may not be ready to change or even unwilling to change. I don’t force you to change. Instead, there is light-touch awareness building.

Contemplation Stage (“I’m weighing it.”)

You may be on the fence about a change you want to make or unsure how to start. I use decisional balance and other tools. You identify small, reversible test steps to lower risk and try them out.

Preparation Stage (“I’m getting ready.”)

When you are ready to move forward, I help you turn intention into a plan.

Action Stage (“I’m doing it.”)

Ongoing sessions help you to progress in weekly sprints.

Maintenance Stage (“I keep it going.”)

Routine monthly coaching touchpoints help you to consolidate identity shifts, review progress, refresh routines, and implement a relapse-response plan.

Relapse (“Oh no, I’ve fallen off the wagon”)

If you return to old ways a coach is there to help you learn from it and to get you back on track without harshness or shame.

When therapy or consulting is the better first step

Therapy is right when safety, stabilization, or clinical symptoms are primary. Coaching can complement therapy once you’re supported.

Consulting is right when you need specialized answers fast. Coaching can support the change process of implementing those answers.
