Can’t speak for OP, but in my experience many coaches chose that path because it allows them to skip getting a masters degree, 2000 hours of supervised training and having to pass a rigorous licensing exam. Not to mention ongoing ethical and clinical training for as long as we practice.

OP might, individually, be decent or even excellent at helping someone cope with anxiety. But, in my state at least, it would be illegal for him/her to advertise as such because treating a mental health disorder requires a license and oversight. That said, I certainly wouldn’t shit on ‘Coaching’ overall ... it can be a very helpful adjunct to qualified treatment for several disorders but most prominently ADHD and depression.

How do you feel about the disproportionate allocation of rescue resources toward saving westerners while so many Nepalese, especially those in remote areas, are waiting for help?
