Coaching &Counselling What is the difference?

---

Coaching is help and guidance for a person seeking a change and supporting them to go in the direction they want. It is supporting a person to become who they want to be at every level.

Coaching is constructively building personal awareness to empower choice and lead to positive change.

Coaching focuses on the future and the present and it involves setting and working towards wanted outcomes.

  
It is for people who want support gaining clarity in different areas in their lives.  

It is very solution focused with the emphasis on personal growth and development. 

Coaching isn’t

A diagnosis or labelling process for mental or emotional health disorders

It is not one person (the coach) telling another person (the client) what to do, how to do it, or how they should live their life

A prescription-based or one-size-fits-all mentality that doesn’t allow room for difference or individual experience

Counselling focuses on the past and the present.  

It is for people who may be suffering in some way, maybe from a traumatic event or suffering due to depression or OCD.  

Counselling involves finding an emotional resolution to past suffering.
