FAQs re: LIFE PLANNING COACHING

What is Life Planning Coaching?

Life Planning Coaching is the intentional designing of one’s life. Sometimes it may feel as though we are drifting along, or racing along, or striving and achieving, but never quite feeling satisfied on a deeper level. The months go by, even the years, and we want to find a richer happiness and deeper meaning.

We all go through different challenges and angst with each new stage of adult development. Life Planning Coaching is my attempt to help adults become more intentional in their lives, thus creating beauty and deep meaning in each new stage.

How does Life Planning Coaching differ from regular Life Coaching?

Although Life Coaching in general may help clients figure out where they are heading in their lives, it is not necessarily focused on the intentional planning or creative designing of one’s current stage of life.

How does Life Planning Coaching differ from psychotherapy or counseling?

Life Planning Coaching is unlike psychotherapy or counseling although both are aimed at helping clients improve their lives.
First, there are no diagnoses because Life Planning Coaching does not presume mental illness, but rather utilizes a wellness-based model of assisting clients plan and improve their lives. Second, Life Planning Coaching is not covered by most insurance plans, which is partly based on the above – no diagnosis of a medical condition, no health insurance coverage.
