Praise for Therapist as Life Coach:
"
Therapist as Life Coach continues with a clear debate on therapy and life coaching that I believe will assist professionals from both sides of the fence with further understanding of the similarities and essential differences. It is a very comprehensive book.which has equal value for an understanding of coaching vs therapy for coaches who come from a non-therapeutic and therapeutic background."
--Pam Richardson, Head of Ethics; UK College of Life Coaching, Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal
“[I]mportant contibution to the life coaching profession. . . has equal
value for coaches from a non-therapeutic and therapeutic background.”
