Are you reaching your full potential?
Ever feel like you're on a good path but could use a little help reaching your full potential? Or maybe you're facing challenges that feel overwhelming. This guide can help you decide between life coaching and counselling.
Life Coaching:
• Focus on the Future: Life coaches act as your cheerleader and brainstorming buddy, helping you set and achieve goals you're excited about. They focus on the present and what you can do to move forward.
• Action-Oriented: Life coaching is a collaborative process. You'll work together to develop strategies and overcome obstacles to reach your goals, whether it's improving your career, relationships, or overall well-being.
• Shorter Term: Life coaching is typically shorter-term than therapy, often lasting a few months to a year. It's ideal for those who are generally functioning well but want to take things to the next level.
Counselling:
• Addressing Deeper Issues: Counselors or therapists are trained mental health professionals who can help you understand and overcome challenges stemming from past experiences, negative emotions, or mental health conditions.
• Longer-Term Support: Therapy can be a longer-term commitment, depending on your needs. It delves deeper into your past to identify root causes of current issues and develop coping mechanisms.
• Wider Range of Concerns: Counselors can address a wider range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and addiction.
The bottom line:
• Life coaching is ideal if you're looking for a supportive partner to help you achieve specific goals and navigate life transitions.
• Counselling is the better choice if you're struggling with deeper emotional issues or mental health concerns.

Calling All Puzzle Masters! Can You Solve This?
When John was six years old he hammered a nail into his favorite tree to mark his height.
Ten years later at age sixteen, John returned to see how much higher the nail was.
If the tree grew by five centimetres each year, how much higher would the nail be?
