Career counseling, Life coach, Life consultant

When I moved to Washington D.C. I decided that simply titling myself a therapist, psychotherapist, life counselor, or life coach offering career counseling would not most accurately describe the service I provide, the relationships I engage in, or the kind of work I do. While a Washington D.C. therapist, psychotherapist, life counselor, or life coach could provide career counseling, and while a Washington D.C. therapist, psychotherapist, life counselor, or life coach can all claim to be offering results-oriented career counseling, very few of the Washington D.C. therapists, psychotherapists, life counselors, or coaches can offer a twenty year track record of success in business.  Nor can the average therapist, psychotherapist, life counselor, or life coach claim to have successfully negotiated three career transitions.  Nor can the average therapist, psychotherapist, life counselor, or coach offering career counseling truly be deemed a life consultant.  And many can not claim to have had great success in relationships.  To me,  “life consultant”suggests not just a description of the career work that I do, but the type of relationships I engage in with my clients.  Life consultant also makes it clear to Washington D.C. seekers of career counseling and guidance that I will engage in committed relationships dedicated to caring and nurturing them on their path.  And this partnership as a life consultant will apply not just to career, but to relationships, health, spirituality, or any other significant aspect of life.  My definition of life consultant extends across the breadth of life.
