ADD/ADHD & Life Coaching
At Support Essence Life Coaching, I will partner with you to help you get in touch with your dreams and passions, identify your strengths, and formulate goals. Together, we will work to channel your inner essence in dealing with issues and challenges in a non-judgmental atmosphere, based on a relationship of equality.
My coaching style is warm, empathic, supportive, yet challenging.
I coach both adults and children. Coaching sessions can be held in person or via phone or Skype.
BENEFITS OF COACHING:
Coaching provides a partner to help us through that "stuck" feeling - to pause and consider options for moving forward. It also provides a means of accountability for the client. I provide the option for check-ins between coaching sessions to help hold you accountable in your pursuit of your goals.
Life coaching can both enhance psychotherapy and stand on its own as a support service.
While life coaching can be therapeutic, it is not therapy. Coaching is distinct from traditional therapy because it is not designed to address deep psychological issues. While emotional issues may arise, the primary focus of life coaching is to help you identify your goals, achieve them, and develop constructive habits and skills. There is little emphasis placed on the past with coaching, but instead the focus is on creating what you want now and in the future
ABOUT ADD/ADHD:
ADD/ADHD is a neurological, often inherited, disorder that interferes with sustained focusing and can affect impulse control. It is often misunderstood as laziness or a lack of caring. Fortunately, professional attitudes about ADD have moved away from a moral model of labeling individuals with ADD as lazy or uncooperative to one of recognizing ADD as a matter of unique brain wiring. It is a very real challenge. Someone suffering from ADD can actually feel paralyzed at times, as if they are up against a brick wall and cannot move ahead with action! Many people without ADD sometimes feel similar frustrations.
