Coaching v Counselling.
A question that has come up a lot is, “What is the
difference between coaching and counselling?” The hard and fast answer is that
coaching is focused on the outcome and counselling is focused on the process.
Coaching is typically a short-term intervention that is designed to help you
achieve an ideal outcome. Counselling is
a longer process that will help you think differently about a situation to work
through an issue in life.
Either way the choice to start working with a coach or
counsellor will often depend on your intention; achieve a goal, get a better
job, improve personal relationships or work through anxiety or depression for
example. The reality is that coaching,
and counselling are not always mutually exclusive. While each has its focus at some point in the
process they may in fact cross over.
Consider the roll of the coach, whatever their methods, they
will help tap into your potential and support your intention with strategies
and interventions. The coach will focus
on the elements you need to address on the path to achieving the ideal
outcome. A counsellor in contrast will
help you to develop an understanding of different situations. The counsellor will help the client to
explore elements of their life in relation to the situation and perhaps discuss
the feelings associated with that situation.
However you look at it, a good coach like a good counsellor will prompt
you to think and consider things in new ways.
Whether in the attainment of a goal or in understanding a situation that
has unfolded in life.
