FAQs
How do I know when to speak to a Therapist or Life Coach?
Everyone experiences ups and downs, but if you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained for an extended period, it might be time to seek support. Speaking with a qualified therapist or professional life coach can help you gain clarity, build resilience, and move forward with confidence.
Signs you may benefit from therapy or life coaching include:
You don’t feel like yourself lately
Your relationships are suffering
Your emotions feel overwhelming or out of control
You’re making life changes just to cope with how you feel
You're constantly overthinking or stuck in negative thought loops
You’re feeling unmotivated, burnt out, or unsure of your next steps
If these feelings persist, a therapist or life coach can help you explore the root of the issue and create a plan for healing, growth, or progress.
Why would I speak to a Therapist or Life Coach instead of a friend?
While trusted friends can be a great source of comfort, therapists and coaches bring professional expertise and an impartial perspective. The key differences include:
Confidential, non-judgmental support
Professional training in mental health or coaching techniques
Focused, structured sessions designed to support your growth
You don’t have to feel guilty for opening up — it’s your space
Clear boundaries and dedicated time just for you
Investing in professional support means putting your wellbeing first, without pressure or personal bias.
How much does therapy cost at The Counselling Space?

What’s the difference between Therapy and Life Coaching?
Great question — and an important one! While there’s some overlap, there are distinct differences:
Therapy focuses on your mental health, emotional wellbeing, and past experiences. It’s ideal if you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or want to understand yourself on a deeper level.
Life Coaching focuses on goal-setting, personal development, and future direction. It’s perfect for people feeling stuck or unmotivated and wanting guidance on personal or professional challenges.
