Therapy typically emphasizes gaining insight and understanding, while coaching focuses on behavioral change. A therapist guides you to explore the origins of certain patterns in your life, whereas a coach assists you in breaking free from them. My approach is a blend of both: therapeutically based coaching. It’s essential to reflect on your past and understand how you’ve become who you are. However, it’s equally important to learn how to implement these insights in practical ways. Together, we will pursue both avenues, always aiming for genuine and lasting transformation in your life.

Unfortunately there is no quick way to transform your life or change behavior (believe me, I’ve tried). Real lasting change requires dedication and commitment and quite frankly just takes a bit of time. It can't be achieved in just one or two sessions. Years of experience and research, have taught me that it takes about three months to achieve meaningful progress and lasting change. That’s why that has become the standard package for all my clients. After the initial three months, you are either where you want to be, or can choose to continue with one of my monthly subscriptions to continue growing and thriving.

If you approach me with a specific question, the standard three-month coaching package gets you off to a great start. Some clients prefer to continue their coaching a bit longer and extend the package by a couple of months. However, I also have many clients who have consistently engaged with me for years through my monthly subscriptions. Not because their issues are so incredibly complex, but rather because they value the insight and emotional support, and prioritize their personal growth in the long run.

Unfortunately, coaching is generally not automatically reimbursed by insurance companies. Most insurers will only cover psychological assistance if a specific diagnosis is present. This often results in a prescribed treatment plan with a limited number of sessions, creating a bureaucratic process that hinders the customization essential for effective mental healthcare. Consequently, this system often leads to addressing symptoms rather than the underlying issues.

Many clients find themselves trapped in this framework and begin seeking a more holistic approach. Some insurers do offer coaching as part of an additional package, so it’s worthwhile to inquire if this option is available for you. Additionally, it’s helpful to know that as a private individual, you might be able to deduct coaching expenses as healthcare costs on your taxes, while entrepreneurs can sometimes categorize them as learning costs. Consult with your accountant to see what your options are.
