WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM MY FIRST SESSION?

I like to find out what is happening in your world, why you have come to counselling and what you would like to achieve through counselling. We then make a plan together to achieve these goals and monitor your progress along the way.

I will set tasks and we will explore techniques that will benefit you. I will then give you tasks and techniques to practice and complete each week so by the end of the sessions you have these techniques to continue and practice in your life.

What is the difference between counselling and coaching?

Counselling or psychotherapy focuses on present on emotional pain or trauma, mental health issues in present or carried from the past. They help you understand your behaviour and help you gain clarity and identify goals and preferred future. They build a therapeutic relationship which is nonjudgmental and empathetic allowing you to explore your feelings and interests. Both counsellors and coaches identify strengths and weakness, identify barriers, help you create a SMART plan and help you move forward.

Some counsellors integrate life coaching into counselling called psychological coaching. Counsellors have protocols to follow with their insurance and membership like personal development and supervision and code of ethics. Counsellors help you to heal and move towards happier, healthier live, be more at peace and help you create a plan to move towards your goals and reach self-fulfillment and your full potential. Counsellors do not give advice. They use evidenced based techniques like cognitive behaviour therapy, solution focused therapy and more which focus on present issues, obstacles or challenges and moving forward to your goals and preferred future.

Life coaching focuses on the present and the future moving forward and finding solutions, gaining clarity, identifying strengths, goals. Life coaches help you unlock your unlimited potential. If you don't want to focus on personal or mental health issues just your goals and personal growth work in your work, health, personal, mindset or career and your preferred future choose a counsellor who does life coaching.

Both counsellors and coaches challenge clients. They help clients identify strengths and weaknesses, help you identify barriers that will stop you achieve goals; both keep you accountable and on track.

Psychologists counsellors have extensive training in diagnosing and treating more severe depression and mental health disorders.
