It's easy to figure out who to see if one has a single, obvious problem in life dogging all their efforts. People who often find themselves waking up on the floor of the neighborhood bar should most likely be steered toward a substance abuse counselor. A life enrichment coach can be employed when it isn't so clear just what the problem is.
A person who does this for a living might have a specialty, but should have a good sense of the holistic. Without being a licensed dietitian, there should be an awareness of how diet affects health and mood. Sometimes it will be necessary to shake things up, taking on or even abandoning vegetarianism for instance.
Diet is intimately associated with fitness, though it can take some coaching to determine where to mark the line. There are those who need to be told that it is time to give up the daily pack of cigarettes. There are those who might be better off taking karate to work off, or to discipline, underlying aggression, or to become more confident.
It can be difficult to be happy when nothing is right with one's family, and there are millions so marinated in patterns that go back five or more generations that a fresh perspective might be needed just to help them recognize it. Many could use a bit of work relating to those closest, the wife or husband, or the children. Then there can be trouble relating to aging parents, especially after retirement.
Dating success just might be the number one area for seeking help. Dating and single life is so often an area of acute pain, so much so that the rest of our lives can seem flat if there is a lack of success here. Heartbreak afflicts anyone. Proper coaching can help with everything and anything, from ice breaking lines to networking, from wardrobe to help with arousal.
For others, financial counseling is the big necessity, the one thing without which nothing else quite works even though they might be reasonably happy in every other area. When working with a coach, financial counseling is rarely going to be the stuff of number crunching visits to the accountant or financial adviser. More often, the issue is one's general approach to money, the secret ways we repel wealth or invite risk.
Some people need broad emotional counseling, and their enrichment sessions might closely resemble psychotherapy. Many coaches are degreed psychotherapists, and find that background useful. People with such training will be able to recognize the difference between deepset grief and deepset rage, giving them a leg up at diagnosing weaknesses.
Generally, a psychotherapist treats the truly suffering, whereas coaching is for those blocked from achieving positive dreams. They represent a path for those seeking greatness. Making a call might be making the right move.
