What's the difference between coaching, therapy, and consulting?
Think of it this way:
- Consulting gives you the blueprint;
- Therapy helps you understand why past blueprints did not work;
- Coaching enables you to build something new that is truly yours.
Coaching is a partnership centered on the future, and what becomes possible when your decisions match your principles. It does not hand you answers, but helps you uncover the wisdom you already have. It is about becoming who you are meant to be, not fixing who you think you are not.
Therapy does essential work healing past wounds and understanding habits or themes that may be holding you back. If you are dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, or other mental health concerns, therapy is where healing begins.
Consulting provides expertise and solutions from the outside. Consultants analyze your situation and advise you what to do.
Coaching trusts that you have the ability to find your own answers when you have the right questions and support.
These approaches can complement each other for strong results.
Coaching tends to help most when you are ready to move forward rather than needing to heal backward, and when you want to discover your own path rather than follow someone else’s prescription.
