Counselling first, coaching first or both?

The question of whether counselling or coaching should come first really depends on the client's current state and what they need most.

Here's a quick breakdown:

Counselling First:

When it’s needed:

Counselling helps to heal and stabilise emotions, giving clients a foundation to build upon before they can focus on future goals and actions.

Coaching First:

When it’s needed:

Coaching is about moving forward and taking action. It focuses on goal setting, building confidence and creating a vision for the future.

Doing Both Together:

When it’s needed:

What you can recommend:

If the client is still working through deep emotional pain or trauma, recommend counselling first to create emotional stability.
Once they’ve done some healing and feel ready for action, coaching can follow to focus on moving forward, building confidence and achieving goals 🤩💫.
