Coaching vs Counselling
Coaching and Counselling are practices that have grown out of a shared root and purpose. The underlying presumption in both cases is that human beings all undergo pain and suffering in some form during their lives. Although these negative experiences can cause a lot of emotional, psychological and sociological problems, individuals tend not to dive into the core of these issues, resulting in their wounds remaining unhealed. This tendency to avoid core issues happens unconsciously in most cases and the effect these issues have on our daily life becomes so routine that they start to seem normal. Because of this, most people do not feel the need to seek help.
Especially in a country such as India, where psychology still remains somewhat a taboo subject, it becomes important to try and educated people about ways they can seek help, and the differences between types of approaches/practices. Denial is another factor that plays a huge role in preventing people from seeking help. Another reason people may deny seeking help is due to the social stigma attached to having psychological, emotional or social issues. Going to a coach or a counsellor is still very much looked down upon in Indian society – a phenomenon that desperately needs to change.
Some of the issues people face range from minor adjustment problems to deeper, long lasting feelings of depression, hopelessness or lack of motivation. Sometimes these issues stem from unhealthy relationships, traumatic experiences or even biological tendencies. Whatever the issue and the cause maybe, human beings can benefit from the help and guidance of professionals, who are trained and equipped to tackle these kinds of problems. Seeking help is the first step towards healing. Addressing and working on resolving these problems can greatly improve the quality of you day-to-day life in many ways – right from your own moods and feelings, to the way you interact with others, and the choices/decisions you make.
Although both coaching and counselling are practiced with the same end goal in mind – to improve one’s overall wellbeing and quality of life, the key difference lies in their approaches to the matter. Life coaches lay focus on creating a new path in their clients’ lives that will help them to achieve certain goals for the future. Life coaching does involve an element of introspection but problem solving remains at the core of this approach. Counsellors, on the other hand, deal with specific problems/situations, dive into the past to uncover the causes, and work with the emotional aspect – emotional feelings, goals and resolutions. Healing the clients’ emotional wounds or creating better coping mechanisms are at the core of counselling. Both of these approaches when successful lead to the result of – a better quality of life for the client.
To put it simply – coaching helps us take direct action, while counselling helps learn how to cope.
Life Coaching – When Should You Approach a Life Coach?
You can seek the service of a Life Coach if you find yourself surrounded by or experiencing intense feelings of stress, or if you feel like your life is stagnating perhaps, and you need to make a change. Some of the common issues that Life Coaches help their clients to tackle are – frustration with their life situation, lack of motivation at work, dissatisfaction in personal relationships and low self-confidence, among others. Life coaches can help you overcome procrastination, organize your thoughts, find the motivation and develop the discipline you need to begin acting on your goals.
Counselling – When Should You Approach a Counsellor?
When facing issues that have a deeper emotional/psychological element, a counsellor is a right choice. Counsellors help clients deal with issues like addiction, eating disorders, anger management, phobias, traumatic experiences, grief and even depression. Counselling involves talking about these issues in-depth and learning ways to cope with their emotional/psychological fallout. There is an element of goal setting in Counselling as well, where the counsellor works cooperatively with the client to find solutions to their problems in addition to learning how to cope with them.
Feeling and Thinking
Life Coaching help their clients with thinking and introspection to optimize potential.
Counsellors help their clients to uncover deep feelings and learn to understand themselves better.
Goals and Clarity
Life Coaches lay focus on goal setting and achievement.
Counsellors lay focus on gaining clarity about one’s situation and feelings.
Coaching and Counselling have different certifications – in most cases, counsellors tend to have some background in psychology or social work. Coaching is an entirely different certification and does not require a psychology background. Issues that counsellors deal with are largely related to mental and emotional psychology. Coaches deal with wide range of topics, for example, a Style coach or image consultant, a Wealth coach, a fitness coach, etc.
It becomes important here to also clarify the differences between a Counsellor and a Psychotherapist.
Psychotherapists – What do they do and When Should you see one?
A psychotherapist is a professional that uses different methods and schools of talk therapy to treat people suffering from emotional problems and mental illnesses.
Generally, counselling is effective in dealing with specific issues and situations, such as addiction or grief, and takes place over weeks to several months (short term).
Psychotherapy tends to dive into past issues that might be the causes of present-day problems. It usually takes place continually over a period of years. Psychotherapists are trained in using different types of psychological interventions (under talk therapy) like Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, for example, whereas a Counsellor uses only the client-centred personal counselling method.
To summarise, all psychotherapists are counsellors, but not all counsellors are psychotherapists.
A Psychotherapist need not have a degree education in psychology but can be someone who has completed a diploma in psychotherapy.
Psychologists – who are they and when should you see one?
A psychologist is someone who has an academic qualification (Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree) in psychology and deals with the study of the human mind. There are several different subfields under psychology, like clinical or cognitive psychology, for example. Most psychologists are qualified to assess and/or diagnose mental illness. They usually have deeper knowledge and insight into human psychology and mental/emotional issues. Psychologists also work in the field of research and development.
Psychologists are usually also psychotherapists, especially when they work with clients and treat them.
Types of Coaches
NLP – Neurolinguistics Programming
Different people have different ways of communicating their thoughts and feelings. Majority of our feelings are communicated unconsciously, through our tone, volume, pace, facial expressions, body language and words.
NLP coaches are trained to identify these subtle, unconscious clues and understand how their client is feeling. Neuro-linguistic programming is a way of changing someone’s thoughts and behaviours to help achieve desired outcomes for them by identifying the maladaptive thoughts or behaviours that are presently holding them back.

Relationship coaches help you develop conflict resolution skills and other tools to increase intimacy and pleasure in your romantic relationships.
Parenting Coach
A parenting coach is a trained professional who helps the clients face their parenting challenges by providing guidance, tools and strategies. It is important to note that, unlike psychotherapists who treat diagnosed mental health conditions, coaches are more like consultants. They provide tools, ideas, and support without treating underlying issues, like ADHD or depression.
Leadership Coach
Leadership coaches specifically cater to businessmen or executives who are usually leaders in their companies/organisations. These high-ranking professionals can decide to take leadership coaching to improve their performance and productivity in their role at the organisation. The techniques and methods used in Leadership coaching are different compared to the other types of coaches. It is specifically for the needs of the leader in achieving the company’s goals.
Types of Counsellors
Counsellors, and in more severe cases, Psychotherapists, can be consulted for a range of issues like-
- Grief Counselling – when we lose someone close to us, we might find it hard to cope with our grief and carry on with daily life, this is when we should seek out a grief counsellor.
- Marriage and Family Counselling – when facing issues in our marriage or within our family, which we are unable to resolve or perhaps that are caused by past events or mental illness, we can seek out the help of a marriage and family counsellor.
- Substance Abuse and Rehabilitation Counselling – When struggling with issues of addiction, one can approach a substance abuse counsellor. This type of counsellor can also help clients dealing with other addictions like gambling or sex addiction.
- Educational and Career Counselling – These are professionals with vast knowledge about educational streams and career trajectories. They can help young students understand their goals and aspirations and plan their future educational plans keeping in mind their long-term career goals.
- Guidance Counselling – They usually work with younger students, helping them during their school/high school years to navigate social, emotional or academic problems.
Dieticians and Nutritionists
Dieticians and Nutritionists are professionals who help people plan and develop healthier eating habits.
Dieticians are certified and licensed to provide information and guidance to clients with underlying medical conditions. For example, a dietician can prescribe a specialized diet/meal plan for a client who suffers from diabetes, bowel disorders, etc.
A Nutritionist is someone who is extremely skilled and knowledgeable in the area of food and nutrition and can provide personalized diets and meal plans but they cannot help the client with diets specific to underlying health problems as mentioned above.
People looking to meet specific fitness/weight loss goals or trying to adopt an alternative eating lifestyle can visit a nutritionist.
People who have underlying health conditions like diabetes or allergies, should opt for a dietician, who can also help them with their fitness/weight loss goals, while working alongside the medical aspect of their conditions.
Astrologist
An Astrologist is skilled in predicting future events based on their interpretation of the positions of the Sun, Moon and other planets. They can also tell a lot about a person’s personality and personal fortune based on these planetary positions.
Healer
The definition of a healer according to the NFSH Healing Trust is ‘A treatment that involves the transfer of energy through the healer to the recipient. It promotes self-healing by relaxing the body, releasing tensions and strengthening the body’s own immune system. Healing is natural and non-invasive with the intention of bringing the recipient into a state of balance and wellbeing on all levels’
Healers use healing energy to change the energy fields around and within you to help you make a change in your life.

Healthy relationships translate into well-being.
