What is coaching?
Counselling and coaching share many similarities. Both provide a confidential, supportive space to think, reflect and explore what is important to you.
The difference is often in the focus.
Counselling tends to spend more time exploring your emotional experiences, relationships and the impact of what has happened in your life. Coaching is usually more focused on where you are now, where you would like to be, and what might help you move towards that.
That doesn't mean coaching ignores your past. Our experiences shape who we are, and sometimes understanding those experiences is an important part of moving forward.
Coaching is about creating space to think clearly, challenge unhelpful patterns, explore possibilities and make decisions that feel right for you.
