Professional Coaching is Not Therapy.
There are situations where it is appropriate for a Professional Coach to work jointly with a Psychological Therapist to help the client stay on track and make progress. However.... Professional Coaching does not treat psychological conditions and is not a substitute for therapy.
Some differences between Therapy and Professional Coaching:
Therapists help clients to overcome psychological issues and may manage situations of mental illness. (The Professional Coach promotes a productive mindset, but only works with Clients who are psychologically healthy or cleared by their therapist to have coaching while in therapy.)
Therapists may focus on events from the past to uncover why situations exist. They may advise the Client what to do as a treatment. (The Professional Coach focuses on the present and the future and jointly creates solutions with the client.)
Therapists work to understand the past and promote psychological healing of past traumas. (The Professional Coach helps you build higher levels of focus, productivity, performance and contentment now and for the future.)
If you ever feel worried or unsure about your psychological situation or safety, please contact your healthcare provider for help and advice as soon as possible.
