Counseling focuses on specific issues and addresses certain problems in the present. It can include symptom management of anxiety and depression, or learning specific techniques for coping with stress or avoiding problems. Relationship problems and grief can also be effectively addressed using Counseling.
Psychotherapy tends to be more long-term and focuses on a broader range of issues. The underlying principles are that a person’s past experiences and their patterns of thinking and behavior affect the way they interact in the world today. Uncovering meanings from the past and the way a person thinks and acts in the world now, can help us understand what it might take to change and lead a healthier, happier life.
Coaching offers a goal-oriented approach toward life. It’s for people who seek improvement and beneficial change in their lives. Rather than healing from the past, Coaching looks forward and asks the question, “How can we improve your lifestyle and meet your goals?” Coaching focuses on the “process” in an effort to enhance “outcomes”. Coaching strives to make challenging goals and meet those goals by utilizing intense accountability and motivation. Coaching can be conducted on countless different topics, but it always looks toward the future and the goals clients have set.
