Who consults a counsellor?
People wanting help and assistance to overcome a wide variety of behavioral and emotional difficulties can consult a counsellor. These range from relationship difficulties, personal difficulties such as experiencing discouragement, despair and hopelessness. Counsellors can also assist with decision making, crises and traumas, questions regarding life, religion, future plans and career guidance.
Counselling take place in a safe, private (confidential), non-judgmental, non-threatening environment aimed to encourage openness and honesty.
I address behavior problems in adolescents and children older than 10 years of age, marital counselling, parenting, communication, depression, stress management, divorce, separation and blended families, conflict resolution, physical, emotional and sexual abuse, self-esteem and behavior modification.
Who consults a life coach?
In business or in life, we sometimes need someone to guide us through some of the most tumultuous times and steer us in the right direction to achieve our goals and our dreams. Being too closely involved prevents us from seeing things from a fresh perspective. A life coach is a partner, someone who’s there for you through life’s most difficult and challenging times, able to guide you through and help you to see things differently, refine your approach and achieve your loftiest dreams.
A Life Coach is someone who knows more about human behaviour, potential development and success dynamics that can keep you more accountable while it saves you time and gets you to your results faster. A life coach can help you deal with stress, pain and frustration that are preventing you from reaching your goals. Life coaches asks the questions, you don’t want to always ask yourself or the things you did not even thought of asking yourself and thereby digs deeper into the clients way of thinking, believing, values and mental skills. Through coaching you gain insights into yourself and this gives you a stronger sense of belief and self-confidence. Life coaching is about looking forward while counselling is about dealing with the past.
