Individual Christian coaching
Clear next steps for the season you are in.
Christian coaching provides focused, forward-looking support as you apply biblical truth to the patterns, decisions, and next steps in front of you. It is distinct from counseling or therapy and does not provide diagnosis, treatment, or crisis care.
Coaching gives you room to slow down, look beneath a pattern, and consider a practical, Scripture-shaped next step, whether you are carrying fear, working through a difficult relationship, or wanting to grow closer to God.
Begin coachingA clear answer
Christian life coaching helps women examine life decisions, relationships, emotional patterns, boundaries, spiritual struggles, and personal growth through Scripture. Coaching focuses on biblical guidance, reflection, practical action, and accountability. It does not diagnose or treat mental health disorders.
Anchored Woman’s non-clinical Christian life coaching is available nationwide. Therapy and counseling are provided separately through Are You Ready Counseling for Illinois and Missouri residents.
Why Anchored Woman exists
Jane Perkins, MS, LCPC, LPC-S, is a licensed professional counselor, Christian life coach, and founder of Anchored Woman with 28 years of counseling experience.
Because counseling licenses are regulated by state law, therapy and counseling are provided separately through Are You Ready Counseling for Illinois and Missouri residents. Over the years, many women outside those states asked for biblical guidance, discipleship, and practical support.
Anchored Woman is the place Jane created to serve women nationwide through non-clinical Christian life coaching: biblical encouragement, practical guidance, spiritual growth, and thoughtful application of God’s Word to everyday life.
A clear distinction
Both can offer meaningful support, but they serve different purposes. This distinction helps you choose the care that fits your needs.

Counseling / therapy

Common areas of focus
Name the patterns and questions that are shaping your life.
Coaching creates room to examine the thoughts, choices, patterns, and questions that may be shaping how you are living.
The coaching rhythm
One-on-one Christian coaching is $150 per session. When we begin, Jane typically recommends meeting weekly. As you make progress, you may transition to meeting twice a month.
Coaching sessions are not covered by insurance. Some plans may allow HSA reimbursement, but you will need to confirm eligibility with your own HSA provider.
Between sessions, Jane may offer practical exercises, reflection questions, and Bible-based assignments so you can keep working with what you are learning instead of waiting for the next appointment.
Frequently asked questions
These questions can help you decide whether Christian Life Coaching is the right next step for this season.
No. Christian coaching is a private-pay service and is not billed through health insurance. Coaching is different from therapy and does not involve diagnosing or treating a mental health disorder.
Christian coaching generally does not qualify as an HSA or FSA medical expense when the service is focused on spiritual growth, relationships, personal development, or general well-being. Because individual plans and circumstances differ, please check with your HSA or FSA administrator before using those funds.
Jane typically recommends meeting weekly when you begin so there is time to build momentum and work consistently on what brought you to coaching. As you make progress, you may move to twice-monthly sessions.
If you need to cancel or reschedule a coaching session, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice. Cancellations or rescheduling requests made with less than 24 hours’ notice are subject to a $40 fee.
Jane responds to most new coaching inquiries within 1–2 business days. If coaching is a good fit, you will discuss current availability and find a time that works for both of you.
