“Courage means to keep working on a relationship and to continue seeking solutions

to difficult problems” –Dennis Waitley

To manage our numerous and more complex relationships, relationship coaches help us to develop strong, healthy relationships with the people who are important to us in our lives.

Why is Relationship Coaching?

“Don’t do it because of the money or have any other motivation for a career in coaching, As coaches we are often dealing with people right in the middle of their problems so need more

patience, more care, and more empathy. If that’s not the motivation, nothing else matters” -Thomas Gagliano, MSW, a successful relationship coach and author.

What is Relationship Coaching?

Since Sigmund Freud began to treat patients with talk therapy on

his famous couch, many people have talked about their past to

psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, and other mental health

professionals. 

Relationship coaching, in contrast, focuses on your present state and your future goals. Relationship coaches then take concrete action to help you reach your goals.

What a Relationship Coach is Not

Counselor – Coaches are not considered counselors. Counseling is a type of talk therapy in which the client discusses his problems while the counselor provides guidance and advice.

Psychotherapist– While psychotherapists may provide coaching, coaches are not psychotherapists. It focuses on talking about past issues to understand and resolve problems in the present and often occurs in a clinical setting

Psychologist– While many psychologists are relationship coaches, relationship coaches are not psychologists and should never provide advice on mental health issues, such as clinically diagnosed depression, anxiety disorders, psychosis, and so on

Legal Advisor–Coaches do not provide legal advice or counsel, but instead help clients

work out an action plan

DV P¹rofessionals-Coaches never handle someone experiencing Abuse/violence in a relationship
