counselling vs. coaching

Counselling:

• Focuses on the past and healing

• Treats mental health conditions

• Provides advice and suggestions

• Helps you move from feeling -0 to 0

  
  

Coaching:

• Focuses on the present, the future and personal growth

• Helps you to unlock potential, reach goals and create an incredible life for yourself

• Supports you to find answers within yourself

• Helps you move from feeling 0 to +10

  
  

Both counselling and coaching:

• Offers a safe space to be speak openly and freely

• Neutral, non-judgmental and supportive relationship between professional and client

• Life-changing

  
  

I utilise tools from both the counselling and coaching space because I know there is value from both areas. Both counselling and coaching impacted my life in incredible ways!

These lists are absolutely not exhaustive, and I could have gone on for days. Some counsellors or coaches may also believe they are different again, depending upon their specialities and focuses but this is a really simple way to compare the two and how I like to differentiate them!

With this in mind, if you're looking for a beautiful blend of counselling and coaching, let's chat! I still have some availability for 1:1 clients. 🥰

With love & support,
