What is the difference between coaching, consulting and mentoring?

In simple terms, coaching is a conversation between the coach and the coachee. Coaches help the coachees discover and achieve what they want by asking powerful questions and help them achieve their goals.

“A collaborative solution-focused, results orientated and systematic process in which the coach facilitates the

enhancement of work performance, life experience, self-directed learning and personal growth of the coachee” (AC definition of Coaching)

How is coaching different from consulting, counselling and mentoring??

Consultants get paid to give advice and suggest solutions where coaches do not usually give advice, as a rule. If they did, they would be limiting their clients’ options, and potentially preventing them from seeing other opportunities.

Counselling is reactive and problem focused. Coaching is proactive and solution focused. Counselling is about the past, coaching is about where you are now and your future (goal-based). Counselling and therapy move a person from dysfunctional to functional. Coaching moves someone from functional to exceptional.

Mentoring and coaching may use similar skills and approaches but coaching is short-term and task-based and mentoring is a longer-term relationship. The difference can be summarised as follows: "A coach has some great questions for your answers; a mentor has some great answers for your questions."

What different types of coaching are there?

Coaching originated in the sporting arena and is now applied to many areas of life. Areas include:

Executive coaching

How long does someone work with a coach?

There are no rules. You would be completely free to make decisions about how often you would want to meet based on how you feel and your individual circumstances. As a rule of thumb plan on at least 9 - 12 sessions.

How does coaching work?

Coaching can be arranged face to face or on the phone / via services such as Zoom or Skype.

Typically, each coaching session lasts for 60 minutes (or 90 minutes when agreed). Coaching sessions are scheduled weekly generally and depending on circumstances and needs could be arranged every other week, intensively or whenever you need them!

NLP Coaching +

NLP coaching stretches the remit of conventional coaching by introducing a number of interventions designed to overcome agreed limitations of the client in order to achieve specific goals. It is important to understand the concepts of NLP and agree to the use of relevant processes or interventions. Please let me know if you have any reservations or if you would like to know more.

Reiki Distance Healing

Distance Healing is a technique whereby you do not have to be physically present to receive healing. The intention to heal or have your chakras cleared is sent by the healer and received by the client in an instant transmission. We will agree times of day and it is recommended that the client drink plenty of water during the coaching duration and minimise alcohol intake.

Goddess Work

Goddess work is Transformational Soul Centred and deeply spiritual works to awaken the divine feminine within. There are different types of goddess but all have common messages that insist self-love and acceptance of your own power is essential. You may be introduced to goddesses from around the world including celtic, american indian, asian, african, indo european and may be know in multiple religious traditions including Hindu, Buddhism, Celtic Christianity, Christian, Pagan, Shemanic. Some are for clearing and healing, some are for opening spiritual gifts and use of the third eye and others are to teach you the use of spiritual magik - which ones we use are dependent on the needs of the client.

Conversational Hypnosis

Conversational Hypnosis is the process where the coach may embed suggestions within conversations using linguistic techniques including stories that may seem unrelated to the time; these will always help the client pass a personal block or open their eyes to more choices available to them.

Prayer

Prayer a bit like Goddess work let’s you know you are not alone and you can ask for divine guidance, intervention and help to release anger, fear, guilt, sadness, jealousy, hate in order to become able to forgive, allow, receive. Prayers can be one line, mantra said with intention, or just thoughts and the belief in the divine.

Meditation

Meditation may be an ancient tradition, but it’s still practiced in cultures all over the world to create a sense of calm and inner harmony. Although the practice has ties to many different religious teachings, meditation is less about faith and more about altering consciousness, finding awareness, and achieving peace .These days, with the greater need to reduce stress in the midst of our busy schedules and demanding lives, meditation is increasing in popularity. Although there isn’t a right or wrong way to meditate, it’s important to find a practice that meets your needs and complements your personality. This practice is encouraged throughout the coaching period
