Coaching vs. Psychotherapy - How to Choose?

Since coaching is a more palatable concept than psychotherapy, clients are increasingly seeking coaching as their first line of attack to address their life dissatisfactions. While psychotherapy and coaching are both on the personal development continuum with a similar goal to improve people’s lives, they are starkly different. Coaches, like psychotherapists, are ethically responsible to understand the difference between the two disciplines and draw clear boundaries in their own businesses, as clients likely would best benefit from one service rather than the other.

Learn how to choose between coaching and psychotherapy.

Change is constant. We all face ongoing challenges and resilience is the foundation which supports us through these challenges. Forge Coaching and Consulting provides a series of exercises that will enable you to strengthen your resilience and help give you confidence to face what comes your way.

Clients initiate coaching for a multitude of reasons such as career change, improved life satisfaction, enhanced work-life balance, wellness, team work and collaboration, and elevated work performance. They recognize that there is a need to act to improve their life, and turn to coaching as a resource. 

It is our experience that some of these clients seek coaching as it is more attractive or palatable than counselling and need to be aware that until emotional distress is resolved, they may not benefit fully from coaching. Empirical coaching research supports this conclusion.
