Is coaching for you?

The main difference between coaching and counselling, is the focus and intention. Coaching is about where you are in the present moment, finding out where you’d like to get to and taking intentional steps to get there with my support. There are, of course, moments where your past will come up and need tending to during the course of our coaching relationship, however, it is not the main focus of our work together.

Coaching is for you if you have spent time in therapy addressing your earlier life and any traumas that you may have experienced. Not to say that our work is ever “done”, but it’s best if you’ve given the really hard stuff the space it deserves. Now that you have arrived at a place of spaciousness to move onwards and upwards with more freedom, coaching work can begin.

Coaching is not for you (yet), if you have unresolved trauma, untreated mental health concerns or you aren’t ready and willing to challenge yourself. Coaching work is not a match for couples if there is active abuse (including affairs/cheating) happening within the relationship. If abuse has happened in the past and has been properly processed with therapy, coaching can be supportive in moving forward.
