What is the difference between Counseling and Coaching?
Great question! Many independent and corporate clients ask What is the difference in Counseling and Coaching?
Momentum Good suggests Counseling when a client's goal is to focus on healing trauma, processing past life events, or better understanding a current mental state.
A client is ready for Coaching when there is a desire to strategize and move forward to complete tangible, finite goals or enter a particular new style of life.
In general, counseling could have a specific length of time or be open-ended as it explores the inner self. Whereas, Coaching naturally has a clear beginning, middle, and end finishing on target within a predetermined timeline. However, because Momentum Good ;) builds active progress from a strongly grounded foundation, elements of counseling and coaching often blend in and out of all sessions, adapting to the environment at hand.
