Coaching vs Counseling:

It could be argued that counselors are indeed coaches. I say my gift calls me to be a coach while my education and training give me the expertise required to be a licensed therapist. Coaching helps individuals identify and establish appropriate and healthy goals while providing the support and guidance to meet those goals. Counseling addresses clinical diagnosis that impairs one's ability to manage feelings and thoughts appropriately. Sometimes there is no clinical impairment or dysfunction that is intense enough to meet the standards of a mental health disorder yet there is concern enough to seek assistance. Coach K's individual coaching or coaching groups are just the places to work through those types of concerns.
