hi, I have a question.. I am getting relationship coaching certification, which at its core is different than therapy but do share some similarites if you’re familiar with the 2 fields. But regardless, I help singles and couples achieve their relationship goals and ultimatly achieve successful, happy and healthy relatioships. I help them overcome any personal obstacles getting in the way as well including issues of confidence, low self esteem, communication skills etc. So that being said, my first question is… would any of you choose to work with someone like me, at the rate of about $450/mnth for weekly 1-hr sessions? Second question, for those who would consider hiring me, what wording do you think sounds more attractive: Relationship Coach? or Relationship Consultant? Third, if I were to name my company would you be more drawn to this name: Elysium Coaching or Elysium Consulting?
or Elysium Love Coaching or Elysium Love Consulting? Thanks, any feedback much appreciated.

LOL, I’m probably much better qualified, so, no I probably wouldn’t go to a "relationship coach" of the caliber you are discussing. Sounds like a fancy way to get around licensing as a therapist. How much schooling, how long is your internship, what are your qualifications? While there may be a place for you, I would need to know a lot more about your qualifications before going to or recommending you to anyone. What is your theoretical approach, what are your techniques, and who oversees your business practices?

Horaayy..there are 4 comment(s) for me so far ;)

1. No, I wouldn’t pay that.
2. Don’t call yourself either. You need a professional-sounding title that others won’t be afraid to say out loud. Who would ever say "You should try our relationship coach, he’s wonderful . . ."?
3. Your name is too similar to asylum, and no one wants to be confused with that. So pick a different name.
