The Differences Between Teaching, Coaching, Mentoring and Counselling

Although teaching, coaching, mentoring, and counselling all share some key characteristics and skills, they are nonetheless quite different and it’s important to be aware of the differences.

Through coaching, we can help you in a wide range of areas, including:  

• Embracing and leveraging your Introversion
• Thinking and planning through your current personal, organisation, or business challenges
• Leadership and executive coaching
• Career and life changes and transitions
• Career planning
• Preparing for your big job interview, sales pitch, or presentation
• Bringing that one idea you’ve always wanted to work on to life
• Having your voice heard as an introvert
• Developing interpersonal skills such as EQ, CQ and managing difficult discussions
• Understanding and embracing your introversion
• Managing feelings associated with ‘imposter syndrome’
• Self-care 
• Building healthy boundaries
• Skills-based coaching

Our culture can sometimes tell us to be strong to get through difficult times. Emotional and relational pain can manifest because of stressful circumstances or past experiences. Professional counselling that considers your mind, body, and spirit can assist you in finally finding real freedom from issues that you have struggled with. Lasting life changes can result from counselling. While it is never too late to come in, it can be especially rewarding to come to counselling as early as possible. Your counsellor is your partner, and together, you can achieve the level of personal growth that may help to improve your quality of life.
