Is it Counselling?
No. I am not a trained counsellor or therapist but my understanding of both of those professions is that they believe in the need to heal emotional wounds before you can move forward.
I am interested in the past only if it is of use for you today and tomorrow. In coaching, emotion is likely to be present, we are only human after all, however, the focus is not on an emotional problem. We will focus on your goals and aspirations and who you need to be and what action you need to take to achieve them.
