Psychotherapy and Coaching Services

Psychotherapy and Coaching may both bring about behavioral change and help people understand how their cognitive and emotional reactions can interfere with personal effectiveness, performance, and well-being. They can even imply similar features in their modalities at times. However, they differ in their focus and intentions. 

First and foremost, traditional psychotherapy is generally past-oriented, addresses painful or unresolved issues, and/or is designed as a response to psychopathology or exceptional hardships. On the other hand, coaching focuses on the present and future, is fundamentally goal-oriented, result-driven and solution-focused, and geared to people seeking enhancement in their performance, organizational skills, or personal growth.  In brief, psychotherapy and coaching practices are not mutually exclusive , but rather complementary and can intervene at different steps in the process of change.
