Coaching vs. Counseling

It is important to me that you have clarity about the difference between coaching and other types of professional services such as therapy or counseling, consulting, and mentoring. Coaching focuses on where you are presently and where you are headed, with a goal of helping you gain clarity about your vision, eliminate obstacles to your success, accelerate the pace of personal growth and achieve results that empower you to live your best life – professionally and personally. We can focus on any area of your life: Relationships, Finances, Spiritual Life, Work, and Business, or Physical Health and Environments. While coaching is forward-focused, counseling tends to deal more with past issues in which you may find yourself stuck and struggling. We may occasionally discuss something that has occurred in the past, for the purpose of clarifying the present, but your coaching will not focus on resolving the past.

A simple rule of thumb to know whether you should be coaching or counseling: If your past is an issue, counseling is your best option. If your past is simply a fact (regardless of whether the circumstances were difficult or negative), you are probably ready for coaching. If it appears that there is an issue for which you may need counseling, I will suggest it. With the support of a counselor or therapist, some individuals choose to engage in coaching and counseling simultaneously, but with a focus on different areas of life for each service.

Coaching vs. Consulting

A coach focuses on helping you walk your unique path to success. As the client, you are responsible for the results you receive as a result of coaching. I help you discover how to become more of whom you need to be to achieve those results and identify what you may need to do differently. A consultant takes responsibility for a specific project, acting as a specialist*, providing specific deliverables and knowledge. I believe in your ability to fully experience your potential and will provide a safe, consistent space for you to develop your potential.

* If my professional experience (in the areas of marketing, public relations, entrepreneurship, and publishing) is of benefit to you personally and professionally, I will use that knowledge in the context of the coaching session. Additionally, if it is a good fit, we may discuss a separate consulting engagement to serve specific needs you may have.

Coaching vs. Mentoring

As a coach, I focus on the development of people in general and the development of your unique path in particular. A mentor guides you towards a specific path of development. I am more interested in helping you onto the unique and divinely-ordained path that is meant for you – which may be quite different from the path I have taken, even though the purpose of our paths may be very similar.

My job as your coach is not to tell you what to do, but rather to help you uncover the answers that lie within you. Consider me a catalyst for your success

WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR

If you feel depressed, make an appointment to see your doctor as soon as you

can. Depression symptoms may not get better on their own — and depression may

get worse if it isn’t treated. Untreated depression can lead to other mental and

physical health problems or problems in other areas of your life. Feelings of

depression can also lead to suicide. If you’re reluctant to seek treatment, talk to a

friend or loved one, a health care professional, a faith leader, or someone else you

trust.

Suicidal thoughts - If you or someone you know is having suicidal thoughts, get help right away. Here are some steps you can take:

• Contact a family member or friend.

• Seek help from your doctor, a mental health provider, or other health care professional.

• Call a suicide hotline — in the United States, you can reach the

toll-free, 24- hour hotline of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at

800-273-8255 to talk to a trained counselor.

• Contact a minister, spiritual leader, or someone in your faith community.

DEPRESSION SYMPTOMS INCLUDE

• Feelings of sadness or unhappiness

• Irritability or frustration, even over small matters

• Loss of interest or pleasure in normal activities

• Reduced sex drive

• Insomnia or excessive sleeping

• Changes in appetite — depression often causes decreased appetite and

weight loss, but in some people, it causes increased cravings for food and

weight gain

• Agitation or restlessness — for example, pacing, hand-wringing or an inability to sit still

• Slowed thinking, speaking, or body movements

• Indecisiveness, distractibility, and decreased concentration

• Fatigue, tiredness, and loss of energy — even small tasks may seem to require a lot of effort

• Feelings of worthlessness or guilt, fixating on past failures or blaming

yourself when things aren’t going right

• Trouble thinking, concentrating, making decisions, and remembering

things

• Frequent thoughts of death, dying, or suicide

• Crying spells for no apparent reason

• Unexplained physical problems, such as back pain or headaches

For some people, depression symptoms are so severe that it’s obvious something

isn’t right. Other people feel generally miserable or unhappy without really knowing

why. Depression affects each person in different ways, so depression symptoms

vary from person to person. Inherited traits, age, gender, and cultural background

all play a role in how depression may affect you.

DEPRESSION SYMPTOMS IN CHILDREN AND TEENS

Common symptoms of depression can be different in children and teens than they

are in adults.

• In younger children, symptoms of depression may include sadness, irritability, hopelessness, and worry.

• Symptoms in adolescents and teens may include anxiety, anger and

avoidance of social interaction.

• Changes in thinking and sleep are common signs of depression in adolescents and adults but are not as common in younger children.

• In children and teens, depression often occurs along with behavior

problems and other mental health conditions, such as anxiety or attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

DEPRESSION SYMPTOMS IN OLDER ADULTS

Depression is not a normal part of growing older, and most seniors feel satisfied

with their lives. However, depression can and does occur in older adults. Unfortunately, it often goes undiagnosed and untreated. Many adults with depression feel

reluctant to seek help when feeling down.

• In older adults, depression may go undiagnosed because symptoms — for

example, fatigue, loss of appetite, sleep problems, or loss of interest in sex

— may seem to be caused by other illnesses

• Older adults with depression may say they feel dissatisfied with life in general, bored, helpless, or worthless. They may always want to stay at home,

rather than go out to socialize or do new things.

• Suicidal thinking or feelings in older adults is a sign of serious depression

that should never be taken lightly, especially in men. Of all people with depression, older adult men are at the highest risk of suicide.
