What’s the difference between Coaching & Counseling?
According to the ICF, coaching can be defined as “an ongoing partnership that helps clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life.” Simply put, coaching begins with the present and helps the client to determine clear, specific goals that they’d like to achieve. As a coach, I will act as your partner in helping you accomplish the goals you set out for yourself. Counseling focuses primarily on unresolved issues with one’s past. While the past may be discussed during Coaching, it is only in the context of discovering what is blocking the client from moving forward. The focus is always on movement and taking action, not on insight or understanding.
