Coaching is a goal orientated, solution, and future-focused practice, where the client is challenged to come up with their own goals. Working collaboratively with the coach, the client is able to recognize, navigate, and learn how to move forward to achieve their goals, dreams and desires. Different outcomes are discussed, and the client is encouraged to make their own decisions. Coaches believe that each client has many of the answers within and are assisted by the coach to find their own solutions to overcome any personal challenges and roadblocks.
​
Counseling is the opposite of this – it is often past- and problem-focused. It focuses more on the client's feelings and emotions and helps to resolve their past issues. Counselors are able to give advice and recommendations to their clients and can also diagnose and complete clinical treatment on them.
