Is Coaching for Me ?
If you decide that you are ready to go ahead with coaching, you will be investing time and money in yourself. It is vital that you are aware of what coaching is and, almost more importantly, what it isn't.
Coaching and counselling are both forms of personal development but they differ in focus, approach and goals. Everyone has a different path and timescale which is completely understandable and normal.
Following a loss, particularly involving trauma, some people may need to invest in counselling before moving to coaching, some may undertake both at the same time, others may head straight to coaching.
Focus
Coaching is mainly future focused helping people find positive ways to move forward after a loss. Karen will help you set personal goals, create new routines and gently build a fulfilling life.
Counselling is past or present focused, processing emotions and addressing complex issues associated with stages of grief and healing.
Approach
Coaching is typically action orientated, helping people to find coping strategies and find purpose and meaning after loss. Karen will encourage new perspectives and ways to create positive memories.
Counselling is more reflective, using therapeutic techniques to allow people to work through guilt, regret, and to cope with the reality of their loss.
Goal
The goal of coaching is to empower people to adapt and create a meaningful life after loss. Karen will focus on helping you to move forward and grow in a healthy way and at your pace.
The goal of counselling is to help people understand and accept their feelings of grief, this may often involve specialised approaches around complex emotions.
