Therapy or Coaching? Finding the Support That Fits You

You might be wondering, “Do I need therapy or coaching? What’s the difference?”

It’s a really common question, and the truth is—there isn’t always one clear answer.

Both coaching and Therapy are about support, growth, and connection. They just approach things a little differently.

Therapy: Healing Through Understanding

When I sit with someone in a therapy space, we often slow down and look gently at what has shaped them. Therapy can feel like giving yourself permission to unpack the past, to sit with what still hurts, and to make sense of why certain patterns or feelings keep showing up.

Together, we explore those tender places at your own pace. Therapy can be especially supportive if you’re carrying pain, grief, anxiety, or experiences that feel too heavy to hold alone.

Coaching: Growing Into What’s Next

Coaching feels a little different. It’s less about where you’ve been and more about where you want to go. As a sex coach, I often support people in clarifying their desires—around intimacy, relationships, or simply feeling more at ease in their own bodies.

We might practice new ways of relating, explore possibilities you’ve been curious about, or create small steps toward the kind of connection you want to experience. Coaching has a forward momentum to it—it’s about building confidence and taking action toward a future, you can feel excited about.

Sometimes You Need Both

Life isn’t always neat and tidy. Sometimes you need the deep healing of therapy and the forward energy of coaching. Sometimes you move between the two. That’s the beauty of having options.

Because I work as both a counsellor and a sex coach, we can figure out together what kind of support fits you best right now.

You don’t need to have it all figured out before reaching out. You don’t need to decide on “Therapy” or “Coaching” before you take that first step. We can start with a conversation, explore what you’re longing for, and choose the path that feels right for you.

At Liberated Connections, my role is to walk alongside you—whether you’re seeking healing, growth, or a little of both.
