FAQ

1. What is the difference between “coaching” and “consultation”?

Professional Coaching – is about what is in you. It is powerful change process that elicits the best from within yourself– your vision, creativity, abilities, drive, focus, clarity, energies, goals–all the inner resources that you will use to successfully develop your psychotherapy practice into a thriving business that provides you with steadily growing income while helping a lot more people.

Consultation – is about having access to external expert information, resources, skills, even “hands on” help–all the elements you will need to get your technical projects accomplished, such as your web/blog design, starting your newsletter, etc. It is also about having benefit of the most current information available about emerging trends and practices. It is about efficiently and effectively managing what is out there.

In all cases, coaching and/or consultation, our work together is a collaborative relationship.
