The Differences Between Coaching vs. Counselling
Mars Venus Coaching revolves around personal and professional growth without the mental health aspects on which counselling is primarily focused.
When you speak with Nadia, she won’t attempt to diagnose, treat, or manage any mental health issues. What she will do is help you understand exactly what’s going on in your life and your relationships, and we’ll work together to figure out what you can do about it. Nadia is a trained Mars Venus Coach and Mars Venus Coaching focuses on education and solutions surrounding the differences between men and women - particularly in the way of communication - and is based on the principles found in all of the Mars Venus books.
While coaching may involve a discussion of past relationships or other times in your life, it will not mimic psychotherapy where the effect of childhood experiences on your life are often examined. Coaching is for the present moment and present concerns. Where counselling often takes place over years, coaching can be a shorter-term process. It can also be an ongoing relationship that lasts for years if you so desire.
Because coaching is based on your needs, and your needs alone, you call the shots about when to meet and how often. See the packages for more info, but the bottom line is this - it’s up to you how frequently you want to meet.
The beauty of coaching is that it is an effective way to bring about change in your life quickly and with great success. Certain issues aren’t forced into the discussion - you lead the call in the direction you want it to go. And the good news is that coaching can happen even if you are in therapy - the two complement each other and offer different perspectives to create greater awareness and, therefore, great relationships.
