🙋🏽‍♂️ What Coaching Is—and Isn’t

---

 At Sincere Consulting and Life Coaching, we are committed to helping you grow—mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally. We want every client to understand what coaching truly is, and what it’s not. This helps us serve you with clarity, compassion, and excellence. 

Coaching is a powerful, forward-focused partnership designed to help you move with confidence toward your goals, healing, and purpose. Here’s what that means:

• Coaching is Future-Focused
  We help you move forward—not stay stuck in the past. Whether you’re navigating transitions, building boundaries, or rediscovering peace, coaching equips you for what’s next.
   
• Coaching is Empowering
  You are the expert on your life. Coaching helps you clarify your values, unlock your potential, and take meaningful action.
   
• Coaching is Emotionally Supportive
  We provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your thoughts, regulate your emotions, and build inner strength.
   
• Coaching is Spiritually Grounded
  We integrate Biblical principles and God’s love into our process—for those who desire a faith-based approach.
   
• Coaching is Tool-Based
  Using visual tools like the Validation Model, Emotional Compass, Boundaries Framework, and Time Peace Planner, we help you build a life that reflects your values, peace, and purpose.

 To protect your safety and honor ethical standards, it’s important to know what we don’t do:

• Coaching is not Therapy
  We do not diagnose mental health conditions or treat depression, trauma, PTSD, or anxiety disorders.
   
• Coaching is not Crisis Management
  If you are in emotional crisis, experiencing suicidal thoughts, or facing acute distress, you need immediate care from a licensed professional.
   
• Coaching is not Mental Health Treatment
  We are not therapists, counselors, or psychiatrists. Coaching can complement your healing journey, but it is not a replacement for therapy.
   
• Coaching is not About Fixing You
  You’re not broken. Coaching is about helping you become more whole, self-aware, and purpose-driven.

  We uphold the highest standards of integrity, confidentiality, and professionalism. As Board-Certified Master Christian Life Coaches (IBCC/AACC), we are trained to walk with you—ethically and effectively—toward growth and balance.

If we recognize that your needs are beyond the scope of coaching, we will refer you to trusted licensed therapists and mental health professionals. Your wellness comes first.
