WHAT IS COACHING AND HOW IS IT DIFFERENT?

 


Many people confuse coaching, mentoring, consulting, and therapy, but each serves a different purpose in personal and professional development.


Here's a simple breakdown:

◆ Therapy

Focuses on healing, emotional recovery, and exploring the past. The therapist guides the process to help the

individual regain stability and wellbeing.


◆ Mentoring

A mentor shares their own experience, insights and wisdom. It's advice-based and supports learning through someone who has "been there before."


◆ Consulting

Consultants provide expert recommendations, strategies, and solutions-usually for organisations or business challenges. It focuses on problem-solving and growth.


◆ Coaching

Coaching is a future-focused partnership.

A coach works with the client (not above them) to: ✓ clarify goals


✔unlock potential

✔build self-awareness

✔create sustainable growth


It's not about giving answers, but guiding clients to discover their own.

Whether you need healing, guidance, expert solutions, or personal growth-knowing the difference helps you choose the right support.
