Coaching
Sometimes you are
looking for
assistance with improving effectiveness at home or at work, but just
don't need to go deeply into relationships or explore emotions in depth,
as you might want to with counseling. In these instances, coaching can be exactly what is called for.
Coaching when
compared with counseling tends to focus more on the development of
practical skills and how to apply them to present and future situations.
It focuses less on exploring past attachment relationships and how those
affect us today. As a result, it tends to be less emotion-focused than
counseling. Coaching can be effective for a number of areas. Below are
the areas Michael commonly focuses on with clients:
Parent Coaching
-
Learn to handle
common discipline problems, and the more difficult ones.
-

with more skills to elicit cooperation from your children.
