Why Choose Life Coaching Over Therapy?

If you’re standing at a crossroads in life—longing for clarity, purpose, or simply more—you might be wondering: should I see a therapist or work with a life coach?
While therapy and coaching both offer powerful support, they serve different purposes. As a life coach, I often work with individuals who are not in crisis, but who are ready to grow, evolve, and awaken to a deeper version of themselves. If that sounds like you, life coaching might be the support you’re seeking.
Therapy Looks to the Past. Coaching Looks to the Future.
Therapy is a beautiful and important path for healing. It often involves processing past wounds, navigating trauma, or treating mental health conditions. Therapists are trained to help clients move from dysfunction to wellness.
Life coaching, in contrast, is not about looking back—it’s about looking ahead. Coaching is for those who are emotionally well and functioning, but feel stuck, unfulfilled, or ready for change. Together, we focus on vision, growth, and possibility. You don’t need to be “broken” to seek support. You only need to be ready.
Coaching Is Empowering and Action-Oriented
In our sessions, we’ll work together to clarify your goals and uncover what’s holding you back. I’ll ask powerful questions, offer insight, and help you create aligned, meaningful action steps. Every conversation is designed to help you move forward—gently, intentionally, and with soul.
My clients often say they leave our sessions feeling seen, energized, and reconnected to their inner wisdom. That’s the heart of my coaching approach: honoring who you are while guiding you toward who you’re becoming.
It’s a Sacred Partnership
As your coach, I’m not here to diagnose you or give you all the answers. I’m here to walk beside you as a trusted guide—someone who believes in your brilliance, even when you’ve lost sight of it. Our work together is a sacred partnership rooted in trust, curiosity, and compassion.
Whether you’re navigating a transition, dreaming of something more, or simply trying to come home to yourself, coaching creates a space for your soul to speak—and be heard.
Whole-Person, Spirit-Led Support
At Vie Esprit, my coaching is grounded in both personal growth and spiritual alignment. That means we look not just at your goals, but at who you are at your core. I bring intuition, heart, and practical guidance into every session. It’s not about chasing someone else’s definition of success—it’s about coming into harmony with your truth.
Is Life Coaching Right for You?
You might be ready for coaching if…
• You’re feeling stuck, uninspired, or unclear about your next step.
• You want to grow—but in a way that honors your values and spirit.
• You’re not looking for clinical support, but personal or spiritual expansion.
• You crave meaningful, aligned action—not just insight.
If any of that resonates, I’d love to connect.
