Introduction: Mental health coaches have become increasingly popular in recent years, as people look for more active ways to manage their mental health. Some people may find the cost of hiring a mental health coach to be prohibitive, but it’s important to know why you’re paying for them and why many people think they’re worth it.
- Accountability and Support: One of the key benefits of hiring a mental health coach is the accountability they provide. Coaches serve as a consistent source of support, helping clients stay on track with their mental health goals. This accountability can be crucial in maintaining motivation and fostering positive behavioral changes.
- Goal-oriented Focus: What makes mental health coaching different than other forms of support? Mental health coaches collaborate with their clients to create clear, actionable goals. When you stay focused on these goals, you’ll see measurable results and positive changes in your mental health.
- Time and Energy Investment: Mental health coaches invest significant time and energy in each client, both during and between sessions. This commitment goes beyond the scheduled appointments, as coaches often provide resources, feedback, and additional support outside of regular sessions. The dedication to each individual’s progress justifies the fees associated with their services.
- Professional Ethics and Boundaries: Mental health coaches adhere to ethical guidelines and professional boundaries, ensuring a safe and confidential space for clients. This commitment to professionalism adds a layer of trust and reliability to the coaching relationship, contributing to the perceived value of the service.
While the cost of mental health coaching may seem high, the unique benefits and specialized support provided make it a valuable investment for many individuals. The personalized approach, accountability, goal-oriented focus, time and energy investment, and adherence to professional ethics collectively contribute to the worthiness of the fees associated with mental health coaching. Ultimately, the positive impact on mental well-being can far outweigh the initial financial investment.
Over time, my rates have increased, yet my influence has multiplied by ten. It’s tempting to focus solely on the numbers when charging higher fees. However, in the realm of coaching, the genuine value lies not just in the amount billed but in the profound transformation experienced by the client.
So, am I now considered a high-fee coach compared to my starting point? Absolutely. However, am I the highest-paid coach? No, because I have friends and colleagues who command fees of up to a million dollars for their coaching services. And that’s perfectly fine.
Coaching transcends mere financial figures; it’s about the impact and transformation achieved. The true measure of success in coaching is the enduring change a coach can instigate in someone’s life.

Client’s Testimony:
Wow! Received so much in one session. Went from spiraling downwards to rising up with strength and hope. I didn’t realise I have so much strength and internal resources within me. Resources that I can use to care for myself and others. Highly recommend Faith to anyone who could use some help to find themselves again (or for the first time)! –Mariah Loy
