Coaching or Counselling

Coaching or counselling, is there a difference? Yes there is, but sometimes the lines are blurred. In my experience people often think they are the same but actually there are both similarities and differences. Coaches help their clients to establish goals and then support them while they are working towards these goals. The coach works collaboratively with the client and the focus is the future. A coach will not attempt to diagnose, treat or manage any serious mental health issues. Counselling, on the other hand, is primarily concerned with mental health and helps clients who have problems caused by past events that are preventing them more forward. Counsellors help their clients to deal with these problems before they can move on to achieve their goals. As a result, coaching is often a quicker process than counselling.
