COACHING DEFINED

Coaching is not professional health or medical care. All services are designed to help you realize your potential and use that to create the life you want on your own terms. There are no guarantees with coaching services or products, and they will not be used as a substitute for professional mental healthcare. Torstein Worren coaching services, e-courses, or products are not a substitute for professional mental health or medical care. Torstein Worren is not a mental health, medical professional, or licensed healing arts practitioner. If you need those services, do not hesitate to seek out a professional. Coaching is not a substitute for counseling, substance abuse treatment, therapy, or any form of mental healthcare. Life coaching or spiritual coaching is not a form of mental health or psychotherapy service. Life coaches do not diagnose their clients. Life coaches do help you realize your potential by using a solution-focused, goals-oriented collaborative approach. When we use the word “coaching,” we mean both life coaching and spiritual coaching.
