Who is parent coaching for?
Parent coaching helps mums and dads handle the challenges of raising kids while managing family and personal issues. It is especially useful for parents going through divorce, blending families, or facing an empty nest.

How is life coaching different from therapy?
Life coaching and therapy both aim to help people grow but focus on different things. Therapy deals with mental health by looking at past experiences and emotional problems. Therapists, who are licensed, treat issues like anxiety, depression, or trauma to help improve mental health.
Life coaching focuses on the future and goals, helping people set targets, make plans, and take action for positive change. Coaches don't treat mental health but help people find purpose, boost confidence, and improve performance. Therapy helps heal past and current mental struggles, while coaching guides you toward future growth and success.
