I’m Not a Counsellor – I’m a Coach, and Here’s Why That Matters

I want to address something that’s been on my mind for a while now: the difference between what I do as a coach and what a counsellor does.?
?
This distinction is crucial, and I feel strongly about it because too many people seem to misunderstand the nature of my work.
?
In coaching, we do explore past experiences and beliefs, but the focus is not on dwelling in the past.?
?
Instead, it’s about understanding those experiences so we can move forward.?
?
Coaching is all about growth and action.?
?
It’s about taking what we learn about ourselves and using that knowledge to overcome obstacles, build confidence, and create the life we truly want.
?
I’ve noticed that some people assume my role is simply to listen to their problems.?
?
They come to sessions expecting to vent, thinking that’s where the work ends.?
?
Let me be clear: coaching isn’t just about talking through issues – it’s about finding solutions.?
?
It’s about taking responsibility for your own growth and being willing to put in the effort to change your mindset and behaviours.
?
I’m here to support you, to challenge you, and to guide you toward a more empowered way of thinking.?
?
But if you’re not willing to engage in the deeper work – to tackle the internal blocks, do the homework I give all my clients, and actively participate in your own development – then nothing will change.?
?

You’ll find yourself stuck in the same place, dealing with the same problems, week after week.
?
That’s why I’m so passionate about this difference.?
?
Counselling provides a valuable space to process emotions and find comfort in being heard.?
?
Coaching, however, is about taking action.?
?
It’s about doing the work to create real, lasting change in your life.
?
If you’re ready to take control of your life, break free from old patterns, and truly commit to your personal growth, then that’s where I come in.?
?
I’m not just here to listen – I’m here to help you find solutions, challenge your thinking, and support you in making the changes you need to succeed.
?
Remember, progress doesn’t come from simply talking about what’s wrong.?
?
It comes from being willing to dig deep, confront the beliefs that are holding you back, and do the work necessary to transform.?
?
That’s what coaching is all about.
