What is Coaching?

Coaching is a non-judgemental consultative process that revolves around the client and within the client's value systems. The premise of coaching is that the client contains the answers within themselves, and the answers can be accessed through the use of questioning and exploration of ideas. Goals are set, and steps to progress are identified throughout the consultation process.

What is Counselling?

A large part of what a counsellor does involves active and careful listening.

Your counsellor will make sure you have recognised the problem areas in your own terms and will help find a strategy to work out what to do next. There are no hard and fast rules and it is non-judgemental. You can say whatever you like.

To assist with relieving distress, a counsellor may employ some of the many methods of treatment in which they have been trained - including somatic stress reduction techniques such as mindfulness techniques and relaxation strategies, or talking therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance-Commitment Therapy or Solution-Focused Therapy.

What is Consultancy?

This is a mentoring process, during which areas of need are identified and suggestions for methods of improvement in those areas are made. Our consultant will draw on their expertise gained through study and experience, to assist you to processes and modalities that streamline your business and lifestyle. A consultant often recognises skills gaps that have been previously unrecognised, thus assisting you to find a method of solving difficult issues.
