TranscriptHi Julie Silfverberg, Success Partners here.
The question I want to answer here today is: What's the difference between Coaching and Counselling. Because it seems there is really a lot of confusion between what's coaching and therapy, coaching and counselling, coaching and hypnotherapy and what's NLP Coaching and Time Line Brief Therapy. So I think the easiest way to look at this is by looking at it on a positioning grid. And if we look at the two dimensions of generative and remedial as against refletion and results. So if we look at it on that positioning grid we can see here in the reflection and remedial quadrant we've got counselling, psychotherapy and psychology. And as you can see psychology also |
stretches into the results side but at the same time the main reason somebody looks for psychology, psychotherapy or counselling is because they have a problem and the medical model looks at why that problem exists and believes by understanding the 'why', that there's learning there that enables you to begin to move towards results.
Contrast that with coaching and coaching is firmly up in the generative and results oriented quadrant. And if you like, in many ways coaching is diametrically opposed to the others, in that it is totally focussed on results, it's focussed on the future, it's focussed on creating generative change that enables you to be, do and have more.
Then we've got hypnotherapy. A lot of the time people choose to come to hypnotherapy because they have a problem. At the same time the goal of hypnotherapy is to move you as quickly and efficiently forwards by working with your unconscious thought processes to enable you create change deep within yourself and develop the results you want for yourself, whether it's quitting smoking, managing your weight, letting go of a phobia or any other change that you might want like; having more confidence.
And then there's NLP Coaching and combined with Time Line Therapy. The majority of that is up in the generative and results quadrant. There is some in the reflective space and some in the remedial space because one of the things is, we can't have totally positive because no matter what there is that balance in life. It's like we have night and day, men and women and like everything there's the positives and the negatives. But how can we move from having too much negative into having more positives as efficiently and effectively as possible. That requires letting go of the things that hinder you from achieving what you want and focussing all the time on the future, where you want to go and what you want to achieve and how you can do that as easily as possible.
So I hope that helps you understand more clearly where the differences lie between these different modalities so that you can choose what you think is the best one for you.
See you next time.
