414: All About Coaching: What Is it? Is it Different from Therapy?
Yes. Well, as you've already heard, I've joined a number of Angela's programs. And when I learned about her Effective Compassion two-day free course, I joined that. I'm always keen to learn from Angela. She's very knowledgeable and gifted.

And from that two-day program, I learned about self-defeating beliefs, self-care, and how we can help our clients sustainably by using some of the team tools, of course. And then from there, I learned about the masterclass, which is available to coaches, therapists, or people who are just caring for others and their mental health or other areas, lifestyle.

So I joined that program and I'm really enjoying it a lot. And I just highly recommend it to anyone who would like to take that opportunity.

414: All About Coaching: What Is it? Is it Different from Therapy?
I actually, yeah, I trained as a coach. I was working as a coach for a little while, but I started to realise I needed more. I started realising that I needed more tools as a coach. As Angela has mentioned, the self-defeating beliefs that the clients had, I didn't have tools to know how to respond to that.

414: All About Coaching: What Is it? Is it Different from Therapy?
So that led me to training as a counsellor and thankfully I found Team CVT, which I am so grateful for. It's just transformed my own mental health and also the ability to really meaningfully help people to move to where they want to be with their lifestyle or mental health or whatever it is they want to work on. Yeah.

414: All About Coaching: What Is it? Is it Different from Therapy?
Well, all of those, you know, depression, anxiety, relationships, I'm happy to help with all of those. So I work online and I work with people in America as well as Australia and other parts of the world. And I'm also part of a health and lifestyle retreat where people can come and live in and work on their lifestyle as well as getting support through coaching or counselling while they're there.

I've just started working there. It has been a retreat where I have worked in the past and I've taken a break and I'm just returning to that work actually this week.

414: All About Coaching: What Is it? Is it Different from Therapy?
Okay. Thank you. I guess, firstly, just somebody who can provide empathy and understanding. I really like to just listen and understand where my clients are coming from. And then if they want to, yeah, they might be coming for help with depression or anxiety or relationship issues.

just giving them tools that they can put in their toolbox that work for them personally, that they can take with them throughout life and pull those tools out whenever they need them. It's kind of like a similar to a coaching model where we're empowering people to be their own coach or their own therapist by sharing the team tools, which are really powerful. They're just really powerful tools.

414: All About Coaching: What Is it? Is it Different from Therapy?
I am so grateful for the brief mood survey. I don't think I could do this work without it because I tend to mind read and think that I've messed up. But when I get the brief mood surveys back from clients, it's just so reassuring to know. that we're going okay, and if there's any issues, they have opportunity to share that with me so that we can get back on track and move them.

414: All About Coaching: What Is it? Is it Different from Therapy?
Yes, I do. Yeah, it's very exciting to see depression going down and anxiety going down, especially anger. I think people... when they have opportunity to just share what's going on in their lives. Anger is the one that I see reduced quite a lot during session.
