COACHING VS COUNSELING- Coaching and therapy are not the same—and that’s a good thing! Coaching is about forward momentum, while therapy often dives into healing from the past. In this episode, we’ll explore how to honor these differences, serve your clients ethically, and stay confidently in your coaching lane.


Key Takeaways:



  1. Coaching focuses on the present and future, while therapy works on healing from the past.

  2. It’s essential to recognize when a client needs therapy and refer them to the right professionals.

  3. Staying within your scope of practice protects both you and your client while enhancing trust.


Listener Challenge:

Create a referral list of therapists or counselors this week. Take time to connect with them, so you’re ready to refer clients who need support outside of coaching. It’s a small step that makes a big impact.
