FAQ’s / Concerns

How do I know when I should seek help for my grief? 

If you’re feeling overwhelming sadness, uncertainty, lack of drive, or isolation after a loss, it’s time to consider grief counseling and coaching.

Avoiding the grieving process only prolongs your journey and adds resistance to healing. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength and a crucial step toward finding peace and purpose.

Coaching might be a stretch for my budget:

Is your grief significantly impacting your well-being, work performance, or relationships? Finding the right support could be worth the emotional, physical, and overall investment.

Consider how much time you’ve spent using coping mechanisms that aren’t serving you, like drinking, overthinking, emotional eating, or avoiding social events—these habits only add more stress.

Together, we’ll help you process grief in a healthier, less stressful way, bringing more time, peace, and productivity back into your life.

What if my partner or spouse is not supportive of me having a coach and counselor?:

If your partner or spouse is concerned about you investing in support, you both can book a Free Call with me to chat more about the benefits, what’s included, and how coaching works. Prioritizing your mental well-being will equip you to show up more readily for yourself, career, & family.

What’s the difference between grief coaching & counseling vs. therapy?

While the approaches of therapists and coaches differ, they share the same goal: helping you better yourself. Therapists can diagnose and provide professional expertise, while coaches help clients identify challenges and work in partnership to achieve goals.

Therapists often focus on examining the past to find solutions to emotional concerns. In contrast, coaches concentrate on the present, identifying obstacles, developing strategies, and taking action to improve specific areas of life.

A grief coach specializes in understanding the grieving process, offering unique support and guidance through your journey.

How can I be sure this is going to work for me?

It’s normal to have reservations about trying something new like coaching. While not a magical solution, coaching requires active participation and commitment from the client.

Coaching helps individuals set and achieve goals, overcome obstacles, gain clarity, and make positive changes in a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space.

I offer a free consultation session so potential clients can experience coaching firsthand and determine if it’s the right fit.
