Coaching

Texas Christian Counseling

Professional coaching is not the same as counseling. It is designed to help you understand your passions, establish goals, and create a plan to work toward those goals. These goals can be focused on work or personal projects. Coaching helps you understand how to evaluate the risk of not completing the goal can affect the desired change. At Texas Christian Counseling, professional Christian coaching provides a certain amount of accountability that will help you remain motivated.

The Christian coaches at Texas Christian Counseling use a Bible-based, structured process to help you identify the skills you have, the tools available, and the steps you can take to work toward achieving your personal or work goals. Your professional life coach in Texas can also help you with the transitions you may be facing due to life changes.

How do I know if life coaching is right for me?

If you feel like you are needing to support and perspective for life decisions, coaching may be the approach you need. There are questions that coaches ask in order to create a workable plan using theology, organization, and analytical ideas.

  • What is the purpose of this project/decision?
  • How will it play into the vision you have for your life?
  • What are some of the goals you would like to reach?
  • Where do you want to see success in your life?
  • Where do you see your life in five years? Ten years? Twenty years?

These questions help your coach understand where you see yourself and how they can help you develop a plan to work toward your goal.

How is coaching different from counseling?

One of the main differences between coaching and counseling is that coaching is forward-focused. Counseling focuses on how the past affects you right now and coaching focuses on what you want to accomplish in the future.

Your life coach at Texas Christian Counseling will meet you where you are and work toward your desired future. Your coach will help you define clear goals and create a plan of action. Counselors and therapists tend to be more introspective and focus on helping the client understand the emotions they face.

Another major difference is that counselors and therapists are licensed. Coaches are certified but are not licensed to provide mental health care. Coaches cannot manage mental health issues. There are ethical codes for both, but the counselor or therapist is held to a higher standard.

Coaches meet their clients where they are and work toward the future. Counselors and therapists help the client understand how the past has affected them. Coaching is focusing on what you can do to achieve goal success while counseling is focused on how to overcome what has caused specific behavior or mental patterns.

How can I benefit from coaching?

The most practical benefit of coaching is the ability to obtain a new perspective on how to navigate challenges and reach goals. Your coach can help you identify any patterns that may be distractions that are keeping you from reaching your intended goals.

Other benefits include:

  • Better work and life balance
  • Stronger relationships
  • More financial security
  • Greater creativity

How do I know whether I need coaching or counseling?

When it comes to choosing which one is right for you, the decision should be based on whether you want to work on goals or a mental health issue. Counselors and therapists can help you work on goals related to understanding a mental health issue. Coaches, however, are not qualified to assist with mental healthcare.

The coaches at Texas Christian Counseling can help you overcome day-to-day issues as you strive to create a better lifestyle. Christian counselors in Texas can help with mental healthcare focused on how to understand what has caused you to suffer from various mental health issues.

Should my counselor be my coach?

Most counselors are qualified to be coaches. This does not mean the client should use the same person for counseling and coaching. A good counselor will understand that there should be no overlap between coaching and counseling. Your counselor should stay your counselor and your coach should remain your coach.

How long should I work with a coach? 

The length of time you work with a coach is dependent upon what type of goals you have set forth. There is no specific time frame for coaching to be considered successful. At Texas Christian Counseling, your coach will develop a coaching plan that is focused on the God-given goals that you want to achieve.

Conclusion

If you decide that you want to create a workable plan that is Bible-based reach out to Texas Christian Counseling today. Your coach can design a coaching plan that will help you identify goals, skills, and tools that you need as you pursue your goals.

Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another. — Proverbs 27:17

Testimonials

It feels awkward to rate a counselor like an Amazon purchase. So instead of rating Benita, I’ll tell you how I feel after spending an hour with her… I feel better. Like 5 stars better. I feel heard and understood, and I leave with helpful and applicable wisdom that makes sense

Benita is a wonderful counselor. She is kind and thoughtful. She is able to help you find new ways to look at issues and help you discover how to address the issues.

Benita has been a wonderful counselor offering insight and advice with a Christian perspective. She is attentive, listens well, and is perceptive. I highly recommend her as a family counselor.

I would highly recommend Benita Weems to anyone seeking counseling. She is a great listener, gives truly insightful feedback and genuinely cares for her clients.

Benita Weems has been insightful, caring, and comforting during some very dark days. She has helped guide my wife and I through this trying season of life and we are very appreciative. She comes highly recommended.
