Counseling is the therapeutic process that focuses on areas of distress. It’s a process for those who want to gain a greater understanding of themselves, make significant changes, and build newer methods of coping and skill building. The therapist works to develop an effective, unique, and specific treatment plan.
Coaching is not therapy. It’s directed towards establishing or accessing personal or professional goals. It’s for solution focused individuals and groups who seek answers from the knowledge of a professional. The consultant works with the individual or group in specific areas of interest.
