What is mental wellbeing coaching and how does it differ from counselling?
Coaching is not as new as you might think it is, it has been around for thousands of years, with one of the earliest form of coaching we know of reaching back to ancient Greece, when past victors started to coach new contestants to the Olympic games.
We consider coaching in sport to be completely normal and accept all successful athletes and teams to compete and succeed with a coach by their side;
The principal between a sports coach and a life coach is much the same.
As your life coach I am not an expert in your life and cannot tell you the answers to your problems, rather I am helping you connect to yourself, through questioning and guidance (most times this is not translated into advice). This process is highly empowering and anyone can benefit from it.
In my coaching practice the focus is on mental wellbeing; I am professionally trained to help you overcome difficulties, setbacks and hurdles, which can range from small issues like feeling stuck or unsure about the future, through to a crisis, or even trauma. Coaching is future orientated and solution based, it is engaging and action driven.
So what’s the difference between Counselling and Coaching then?
In my own personal experience with counselling I found that I benefited from it a lot and it provided me with relief, but oftentimes I left a counselling session wondering: “I talked it all through but what do I do now?”
Coaching in my opinion fills that gap, the “what do I do now” is covered with the action steps, which to me is fiercely empowering and allows for lasting change.
The collaborational nature of coaching makes it a warm, open environment, where everyday problems, or bigger issues can be utilized as a catapult for personal growth.
