Is coaching the same as counselling or mentoring?
Coaching is not counselling or therapy. The fundamental difference is that a counsellor would ask you to talk about your past as a means of helping you come to terms with your current situation. In coaching, we are only interested in the present and how that can be bettered to achieve a more successful, happier future.Coaching is not mentoring. This is a process whereby you would seek advice from a more experienced person or ‘mentor’. This mentor would use their experience of the world to offer you advice to help solve your issue.
