What is mindset coaching?
- Therapy
- Traditional coaching
- Mindset coaching
Therapy is a powerful resource for individuals dealing with specific mental health issues, traumatic experiences, and emotional challenges. It typically involves delving into your past, to work through unresolved wounds that continue to impact your present. Through therapeutic techniques, therapy can help you change thinking patterns and develop healthy coping mechanisms, moving you from a state of distress and dysfunction to stability. While therapy is invaluable in improving mental well-being, it’s primary focus remains emotional processing and healing rather than creating practical steps to surpass this stage and realise your full potential.
Traditional coaching, often associated with career or life coaching, is designed to help individuals set and achieve distinct goals in their personal and professional life. Here it’s all about working with your future in mind – clarifying goals, creating action plans and developing specific skills with ongoing accountability and support to achieve your desired outcomes. Traditional coaching excels in delivering swift, tangible results. However, by focusing on creating goal-oriented solutions rather than addressing the root cause of psychological barriers, traditional coaching often falls short in creating the holistic, long-term change we seek in personal development.
Mindset coaching bridges the gap between therapy and traditional coaching helping individuals achieve transformational change. It aligns emotional healing with developing the mindset needed to change your life trajectory. Mindset coaching acknowledges the interplay of your past, present and future. It recognises that present psychological barriers stem from unresolved wounds from your past, and how we confront these barriers impacts the likelihood of them resurfacing in the future. By guiding you to connect the dots, explore new perspectives and view challenges as opportunities for self-discovery, mindset coaching equips you with the skills and tools to achieve your most aspirational life.
