Mental health coaching is a niche pathway within the coaching field which touches on nuances of the therapeutic relationship. As a Life Coach in this niche I intentionally choose not to pathologize mental/spiritual/emotional or social health challenges in terms of illness or the manifestation of psychological issues or problems. I view said “issues” as a personal and spiritual life challenge requiring deep insights, life goal clarification and identification, support, guidance and cognitive behavioural modification.

The spiritual domain combines teachings of Buddhism, Taoism and Zen integrated with the mental domain which is further complimented by personal insights and lessons learned during an ongoing 38 year Eastern spiritual path to awakening.

Concerted efforts within the emotional domain include developing your abilities to feel, evaluate, express and regulate your emotions thereby increasing your emotional IQ. The subsequent increases in emotional IQ positively impact your ability to sit with intense, difficult emotions leading to further realizations of inner peace, insight and holistic growth.

The natural by-product of increasing insight, health and growth within the mental, spiritual and emotional domains is a subesequent increase in the qualities of the relationships in your lives both with yourself and others.

Think about the possibilities! Your role is to fully participate in the coaching process, be open-minded, honestly consider and respond to meaningful questions, be willing to explore new options and take new steps. This process can really make a difference!
