Great question … and the answer is no.

Coaching is a facilitated process either individually or with others that guides or instructs you in very specific methodologies and topics. Coaches range in focus from business development, to career transition, to health and fitness, to creativity, and everything in between. They are usually working with their clients to create goals, strategies, and tactics to take performance and personal development to another level.

On the other hand, counseling requires a specific license and a set criteria for schooling and curriculum. They often work with people through crisis situations, trauma, mental or emotional health issues, etc. Their work is considered more in the line of therapy.

I am a leadership and life coach. I am not a licensed counselor.

Any couple interested in jump-starting their new marriage with positive, collaborative awareness and understanding might hire a couple’s coach. Coaching helps you approach communications, personality, stress response, and inter-personal dynamics from an angle beyond just opinion and preference. It provides tools, tips, and methodologies to dig deeper and be more effective in how you relate. And as appropriate, you can include children into the coaching conversations when you are entering into a blended family scenario. 

Yes I do. I have a wide variety of clients – individuals, families, work groups, corporate leadership teams, entrepreneurs, networks, etc. My experience and methodologies are inclusive and positively impact so many possible areas with meaningful transformation! And, based on need and effectiveness of the work, I connect with my clients either in-person or virtually.
