They serve different purposes and are not mutually exclusive. If you have recently experienced a particularly painful or traumatic life event and are finding it hard to function regularly, we recommend seeking out a counselor so you have someone to talk to and to call in case of emergency.
But we'd also recommend giving one of our coaching programs a try. They are low-commitment as they only take around 15-minutes a week, and they can help you to set a meaningful goal, while increasing your energy and motivation—all of which are critical to healing and finding meaning in life again! Combining them will give you a richer experience and help you to build a life you love even faster.
If you'd like to pair coaching with counseling, we recommend you check out either our Vital Wellbeing or Goal Catcher online coaching program to start with.
