What is Coaching? 

Coaching is quickly becoming one of the leading tools and strategies that successful people are using in order to enhance their lives allowing them to lead extraordinary lives.

 

The coaching relationship is a partnership, leaving you room to move yet being accountable so that you become the person you desire, to create the life and work that you wish for and to achieve the goals you set. 

How is Coaching Different from Counselling or Consulting? 

Coaching is not counselling, which tends to focus on the past nor is it consulting which generally involves coming up with expert opinions and answers.  However, coaching does use techniques derived from clinical psychology and many coaches have developed expertise in multiple areas including counselling

 

Coaching is action-oriented and solution-oriented and focuses primarily on both the present and future.  The "answers" that you are looking for come about through the work done in joint coaching partnerships; this is the reason most coaches encourage clients to commit to multiple session to maximise results and create accountability.
