Life
Coaching Services offered by Dr. Bill Gaultiere
If
you want to grow personally or spiritually or to make some positive
life changes then you may benefit from consulting with me as your
coach.
I
offer a growth-oriented program for taking positive steps towards
desired personal or spiritual life change. You decide the specific
life improvement you'd like to make and I'll work with you to
design a specific, personalized program for you to reach your
goals and enrich your soul. Then I'll help you to stay focused
on your goals and encourage and guide you along the way as you
make the changes that are important to you.
My
coaching program is very flexible. Wherever you live, whatever
your schedule we can work together. We can collaborate in person,
over the phone, or by e-mail and you can do much of the work on
your own, as I'll offer you assessment tests, homework assignments,
and self-help referrals specific to your goals to help you stretch
yourself.
Consulting
with me as your life coach is similar to using a fitness coach,
nutritionist, or business consultant. You hire me for the specific
help you want. As your spiritual or personal coach I can help
you with goals like:
- Developing
a closer relationship with God.
- Growing
spiritually.
- Discovering
and utilizing your gifts.
- Improving
your relationship skills.
- Improving
your parenting skills.
- Increasing
your enjoyment of your life.
- Improving
your self-esteem.
- Cutting
back your work hours.
- Making
a career change.
- Increasing
your efficiency on your job.
It's
important that you realize that if you're in crisis, having trouble
functioning adequately in your relationships or work, or struggling
with depression, anxiety, compulsive behavior, or another serious
emotional problem then you should seek psychotherapy (which I
also offer) and not life coaching.
You
may be wondering, "What's the difference between life
coaching and psychotherapy?" While there is overlap between
these two means of soul care, the following differences are common
in my work with clients:
|
Coaching:
Legally, anyone can offer
Not reimbursed by insurance
Assumes healthy client
Specific short-term goals
Structured program
Enhances growth
Accomplishes life goals
Client's application is key
Focuses the conscious mind
Implements dreams for future
|
|
Psychotherapy:
Licensed or intern providers only
May be covered by insurance
Assumes client mental disorder
Broader, long-term goals
Evolving process
Treats problems and heals hurts
New experiences and insights
Therapist-client relationship is key
Uncovers the unconscious
Resolves past problem patterns
