Contact Coach Crystal

Coaching is an action focused collaborative relationship between the coach and the client. The focus of coaching is to guide you through the process of discovering what steps to take in order to accelerate positive changes, and achieve your desired goal in any area of your life that you would like to focus on. I will help you access the resources you need to implement the solutions that work for you. 

We will set up a series of weekly structured conversations aimed at helping you expand your thinking, deepen self-awareness, and improve your life. It is a goal-directed, results-oriented relationship where I will be your accountability partner, coaching you to achieve success. The primary tool in life coaching is asking the right questions to help you recognize what you want to learn, and to co-create a strategy leading to the goal. Each week we will have an action plan, debrief on the past week successes or challenges, and explore your next steps.

Life Coaches do not give advice and are not directive. 

It is important to note that a Life Coach is not a Therapist. Coach Crystal is however, experienced in working with youths dealing with learning difficulties or suffering from depression, and is open to working in conjunction with licensed mental health practitioners as an added member of a young adult’s support team.

Please note that coaching is NOT a suitable replacement to treat mental illness. If you are seeking or considering working with a therapist, please consult a licensed mental health professional.

One of the main differences between Coaching and Therapy is that Therapy is often past, present and future focused, and focuses on areas of dysfunction and psychological issues and concerns. However, Coaching is present and future focused, and the client is considered psychologically healthy who is seeking to grow, set goals and improve their overall life satisfaction. In Coaching, every client is viewed as an individual who is creative, resourceful and whole. 

While Mentoring and Coaching are two ways to assist in transforming the lives of others, they are indeed different. In coaching relationships, the client is the expert and the coach acts as the catalyst to draw out the best in the client. However, in a mentoring relationship, the mentor is the expert and shares their wisdom based on experience with the client. 

The truth is, Life Coaching works! There are infinite amounts of reasons why you should hire a Life Coach. Life Coaches provide accountability, help you gain clarity, help you find a fresh perspective, and help you discover what is already inside of you to help you rise to your best self. 

My clients are typically between the ages of 14-24 years old. I will engage in organic coaching with the client. However, my specialized coaching areas include: Time Management, Goal Setting, Self-esteem and Self-confidence, Change and Transitions, Dating and Relationships, Motivation, Effective Communication, Test Anxiety, Managing Expectations, Passion and Purpose, and Handling Peer and Social Pressures.

Yes! Due to the fact that Life Coaching is it’s own unique service and differs from therapy, for some – it is recommended that the client work with the Life Coach and Therapist simultaneously, if the client has mental health concerns.

I ask for a minimum commitment of 3 months or 12 sessions as it allows time to identify and work through self-defeating behavior, as well as obtain significant results with specific goals. The ideal coaching relationship can last for 6 months or more, depending on the client’s goals.
