Counselling or coaching: which is right for you?

I offer both counselling and coaching, and people often ask which one they need. The honest answer is that it depends on where you are, and it can change over time.

Counselling looks at what’s weighing on you

Counselling gives you space to explore feelings, patterns and experiences that are making life harder. It can help with anxiety, low mood, grief, relationships and much more.

Coaching looks at where you want to go

Coaching is more focused on the future: a decision, a change in career, or building confidence. It’s practical and goal-led, while still paying attention to how you feel.

You don’t have to decide before we talk

Many people need a bit of both. In a free chat, we can work out together what would be most helpful for you right now.
