What's the difference between coaching and counseling?
Oh, you have NO idea how excited I am to answer this question because my calendar and my wallet were greatly impacted by counseling but little else. Coaching on the other hand truly did change my life.
Basic Answer:
Psychotherapy assumes that you're sick. That you need an RX and lots of time to heal. It focuses on the problem and helps you relive it, talk about it, mul it over and talk about it some more.
Strategic Intervention Coaching on the other hand, focuses on empowering individuals to greater freedom, happiness and results!
