Counselling v. Life Coaching
It is important to understand that there is a big difference between counseling and life coaching when it comes to getting help for your teen. Often when parents are worried about their child’s behaviour, they may contact a counselor or therapist. But working with a life coach is much different - a counselor focuses on issues dealing with the past while a life coach focuses on the future. One is reactive while the other is proactive. Coaching is a short effective way to empower the teen to make changes in a short period of time.
​
Counselling is often used to deal with a problem. Coaching is more about helping your teenager to learn life skills so that when they turn 18, they are better equipped to handle the many obstacles and challenges they will be facing. When you present it to a teen in this way, they are more open to working with the professional because they are not viewed as something being wrong with them.
