Coaching vs Therapy

This is one of the most important pages on this website. Please read it before beginning any work with Love.

What coaching is

Coaching is forward-focused, collaborative work on mindset, behaviour, habits and life design. Love holds an NLP Practitioner Certification and a Professional Life Coach Certification from Transformative Services Inc.

Love studies psychology, neuroscience, behaviour change, habit formation and holistic wellbeing. These are areas of ongoing study, not professional qualifications.

What coaching is not

Coaching is not therapy, counselling, psychotherapy, psychiatry, medical care, diagnosis or treatment of any physical or mental-health condition. Love is not a psychologist, therapist, physician or licensed mental-health provider.

Coaching does not replace care you are receiving from a qualified health professional, and Love will never ask you to stop it.

If you need urgent support

If you are in crisis or at risk of harming yourself or others, please contact your local emergency service immediately. In Canada you can call or text 988 for the Suicide Crisis Helpline.

If therapeutic support is a better fit for what you are carrying, Love will say so and encourage you to seek it.
