• Offer advice, ideas and perspective when appropriate and in a way you can use them.

Is a Coach a Consultant, Therapist or Counsellor?
Consultants provide expert advice in a specialized field. All coaches are consultants. Not all consultants are coaches. Coaches keep you in action by pro-actively making requests to achieve specific goals.

Therapists and counsellors utilize a process-oriented approach to heal problems. Coaching is not Therapy. A coach may counsel, but mostly acts as your partner. You do the work; you supply the answers and insight and determine your course of action. A coach will provide input maily to keep you focused and on track. A coach listens and lets you see where and who you are.
