Coaching programmes Life Partner Quest Coaching - Choosing a Partner Wisely Prepare-Enrich Pre-marriage/Living Together Coaching Life Coaching Counselling or Coaching - which would suit you better? There are large overlaps between what Coaching and Counselling offers you, however, the broad differences are: Counselling is: · more focused on the Past and Present. · more oriented on feelings and who you are ‘being’ as a person. Coaching is: · more focused on the Present and the Future. · more oriented on projects or goals, and what you are ‘doing’ as a person. Relationship Counselling falls into both categories. We offer you either Coaching or Counselling or a mixture of both - depending on your needs. What happens? Your first session is a great opportunity for you to decide if the therapist is the right one for you. Ask as many questions as you like. When you are satisfied with what you hear/see/feel you will be asked to make choices about further sessions. Counselling is traditionally done face to face. Occasionally, depending on your circumstances, it may suit you better to have a phone or skype session or two. Phone and skype sessions are also available at times when it is not practical to do face to face sessions...ie work or travel demands. Sessions are conducted in blocks of 1 hour - if preferred you can also book 1, 2 or 3 hours per session Benefits? "Time heals all wounds" - Right? Not always !! If a wound is not attended to properly when it first happens, it can heal badly and ome back to cause problems later on. Also... If something is troubling you, it's true, it may eventually right itself However, counselling or coaching, will tend to shorten the time to solve the situation and teach you the awareness to not repeat it again. and learn new ways of creating the life you desire. ============================================ What Do Counsellors/Coaches Do? They listen attentively. They explore options with you. They do not tell you what you have to do, or suddenly make your life magically better; YOU do that. They teach you skills in thinking and planning, or learning more effectively. They create a place for you to feel what you need to feel in safety. They may give you things to do or practice in between sessions. They may highlight ways you are thinking which do not support you. They acknowledge and support your thoughts and feelings. They may assist you to explore and better understand your Past. They may assist you to explore and better understand your Future. They may assist you in fully experiencing and appreciating your Present They listen |
