Empowering Therapists to Transform into Coaches with Carly Hill
Aug 13, 2024"I think therapy is treating medical necessity. It's textbook DSM. You're treating them for a diagnosis where coaching is working with those more situational, non clinical, less severe problems."
Transitioning from Therapy to Coaching: Insights from Carly Hill - In this latest podcast episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Carly Hill, a social worker turned business coach, who shared her incredible journey and the valuable insights she gained along the way. Carly's story is a testament to the power of combining traditional therapy skills with innovative coaching techniques to create a more flexible and impactful practice.
Carly began her career with a strong passion for helping children and families, which led her to pursue degrees in social work. She worked in various settings, including a brain performance center where she gained experience in neurofeedback and biofeedback. However, it was during her time in private practice that Carly's path began to shift. As she explored her own spirituality and trained in Reiki, neuro-linguistic programming, and hypnosis, Carly realized she was naturally gravitating towards coaching.
One of the key takeaways from Carly's journey is the distinction between therapy and coaching. While therapy often focuses on treating medical necessity and working with clinical diagnoses, coaching addresses more situational, non-clinical issues. This allows therapists to expand their reach and impact by working with clients beyond the limitations of their licenses.
Carly's transition to coaching was driven by her desire for more freedom and flexibility. She studied the online coaching industry and developed innovative ways to package her services. This led to the creation of her coaching programs and the Therapist to Coach Accelerator, where she now teaches therapists how to ethically and effectively transition to coaching.
A significant part of Carly's success lies in her business model, which includes three main components: a recorded course, group coaching sessions, and added support. This hybrid model allows coaches to leverage their time and provide high-quality services to a larger audience. Carly emphasizes the importance of clear messaging and market research to attract the right clients and build a successful coaching practice.
"Anybody who's listening right now, I'm taking my hand and I'm placing it over your head and I'm deeming you as a coach right now, like, go try it on, go try on the identity as a coach and see how it feels."
For therapists considering the move to coaching, Carly offers valuable advice on protecting their licenses and setting up their businesses correctly. She stresses the need for a good attorney-approved coaching contract, keeping therapy and coaching services separate, and maintaining strong boundaries.
Carly's story is not just about her personal journey but also a call to action for other therapists. She encourages them to embrace their skills, share their stories, and step into the coaching space with confidence. Her message is clear: therapists have the potential to be exceptional coaches and make a significant impact on people's lives.
If you're a therapist looking to explore the world of coaching, this episode is a must-listen. Carly's insights and practical advice will inspire you to take the leap and create a more flexible, fulfilling practice.
