Life is beautiful, but it comes with pain. I believe our role here on earth is to become the highest version of ourselves and we all hold the means to do so. I always tell myself, "It's okay, this is your first time here. Take it slow. You are not supposed to be perfect, you are learning everything for the first time". Sometimes things happen that don't make any sense and we as humans can find ...

I work with men in their 30s to 60s who are burnt out, going through a divorce, or stuck wondering what happened to the life they thought they'd have. Most didn't choose therapy easily, a partner suggested it, or they ran out of ways to white-knuckle through it. I use ACT and IFS, and I keep the jargon out of the room.

Frequently Asked Questions About Life Coaching
What is life coaching and how is it different from therapy?
Life coaching is a goal-oriented, forward-focused collaboration that helps clients clarify what they want, identify obstacles, and take action toward meaningful goals. Unlike therapy, coaching typically does not address mental health conditions, past trauma, or deep psychological patterns — it focuses on the present and future rather than understanding or healing what is behind you. Therapy is better suited when mental health concerns, unresolved trauma, or significant emotional distress are present; coaching fits when you want support for growth, direction, or achieving goals in a healthy life.
What kinds of goals does life coaching address?
Life coaching can support a wide range of goals: career transitions and professional development, starting a business, improving work-life balance, building habits, navigating major life decisions (moving, changing paths, leaving a relationship), developing confidence and communication skills, clarifying values and purpose, and creating accountability toward personal goals. Some coaches specialize in specific areas such as executive coaching, health and wellness, or relationship coaching.
Do life coaches need to be licensed or certified?
In Canada, life coaching is not a regulated profession — anyone can use the title "life coach" without formal training or credentials. However, many coaches hold certifications from recognized bodies such as the International Coaching Federation (ICF). When looking for a life coach, ask about their training, certifications, approach, and experience with goals similar to yours. Some therapists are also trained coaches and can provide both services depending on your needs.
How long does life coaching typically last?
Life coaching engagements vary widely depending on your goals and the coach's model. Some people work with a coach for a short, focused engagement of 4–8 sessions around a specific goal or transition; others maintain an ongoing coaching relationship over months or years for continuous growth and accountability. Unlike therapy, coaching does not have a defined treatment arc — it ends when you feel you have what you need, or shifts focus as your goals evolve.
Is life coaching covered by insurance?
Life coaching is generally not covered by health insurance in Canada, as it is not a regulated health profession. However, if you are working with someone who holds a regulated designation (such as a registered psychologist or social worker) who also offers coaching-oriented services, some of those sessions may be covered depending on your plan. Check with your insurer about what designations are covered and whether the services qualify.
