Frequently Asked Questions

Is life coaching right for me?

Yes! Most clients Andrea has worked with are very eager to make changes in their lives, however they often feel stuck, unsure, or are confused about how to reach their goal or what to do in order to be successful in their lives.

Who can benefit from coaching?

Everyone. Coaching with a partner gives clients answers to tough questions and allows them to steer their life in the direction they want it to go in. Life coaching is becoming even more popular, so much so in fact, that many therapists and mental health professionals now use coaching in their practices as a way to help clients.

What is the difference between therapy and coaching?

Therapy, counseling, and mental health treatment plans involve working through mental health issues with a qualified mental health professional to promote and maintain wellness (and in some cases recovery).

Coaching involves working on creating action plans, manifesting goals, and establishing healthy lifestyle patterns without mental health treatment involved.

Mental health professionals also follow stricter licensing guidelines, whereas life coaches are not required to do so. With that said, out of respect for raising the standard of professional ethics that life coaches are responsible for upholding, my website platform is HIPAA compliant.

Sometimes these practices can overlap however, it’s really important to say that life coaching is not therapy and is not a substitute for the guidance of a licensed mental health professional.

Is coaching affordable?

Coaching should be affordable and accessible to everyone, therefore at Sacred Hearth there are two options for clients: Private one on one coaching, and group coaching with online course access.

Let’s book a time to talk about which option is right for you.

What options do you offer for sessions?

Andrea sees clients via virtual sessions right now only. Phone, text, email, Facebook Messenger, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, Whatsapp, and other messaging platforms are available. Whenever possible video chat of some type will be used however – certain clients may not desire to have themselves displayed on camera in one on one or group settings. That is their personal choice and will be respected.
