WHAT IS
COACHING?

Is Coaching Just Another Name for Counseling?

​

No, coaching and counseling are not the same. Counseling is conducted by mental health professionals and is crucial for addressing unresolved trauma or clinical issues. Coaching, on the other hand, is not a form of therapy and is most effective when any underlying mental health conditions are being treated by a licensed therapist or medical professional.

​

Coaching focuses on where you are today and where you want to go. Think of it like a sports coach introducing a new playbook to help the team reach the championship. While your past can be valuable, coaching is primarily about moving forward and writing new chapters in your story.

​

Coaching is a collaborative journey aimed at identifying and achieving your goals. It is a relationship based on trust and mutual respect, designed by you and your coach to help you realize your full potential.

 

A coaching relationship involves:

• Active listening

• Asking powerful questions

• Expanding possibilities 

• Identifying obstacles 

• Focusing on forward progress

• Looking for different perspectives

​

Why use a coach?

• Achieve more in less time with greater life satisfaction

• Grow forward in belief and function

• Accelerate learning​

• Move from frustration to fulfillment

• Support for life transitions

• Create accountability

• Discover and maximize strengths

• Catalyst for change
