Coaching and counseling have a lot in common. Main differences:
- Psychological counseling has a much greater applicability. In coaching, in contrast to psychological counseling, a person must work to a much greater extent on his own.
- Actually, coaching begins only when a person understands what he wants, when a person has (or has appeared) conscious goals (there are few such people).
- A consultant is paid for advice, a coach for not having it. More precisely — for the lack of cheap advice / answers and the presence of questions moving forward.
- Psychological consultation is usually one-time and cheaper. If you have agreed on a long-term job and it is expensive, this is already coaching.
