Wondering if you should hire a counsellor or a coach? Confused about what the differences between counselling vs coaching are? This video will talk about the main points that everyone should consider before they hire any services.
Some important notes:
– I will always encourage people to do their research and see which service best fits their needs. It may also take a few tries with different counsellors, therapist, or coaches before you find the person you feel comfortable with and has also the necessary education and experience to best assist you in your situation.
– It’s important to know if someone is a real certified life coach or someone who just calls themselves a life coach. Both can help you, but making sure someone is certified can ensure you that they have completed some sort of training. Some coaching programs may vary in the amount of hours they need in order to be certified and also the coaching approaches.
– Coaching can be very helpful when you just need another perspective or to help you get motivated and set goals towards your future. They can be helpful if someone is also receiving therapy or counselling sessions separately.
-Coaching is not a substitute for counselling or therapy services. These services may compliment each other. Always find a registered counsellor or licensed therapist to help you with any mental health concerns.
