Is Coaching the same as Counseling?

No, although they do have similarities.

Coaching typically focuses on the present complexities of life, working to promote clarity and discovery, utilizing new tools in partnership with purpose filled action steps to move forward toward a specific outcome.

Counseling focuses on unfolding the past in order to understand current pain or where healing is critical in order to move forward toward a more healthy life with self and others.

How many sessions are in a typical coaching cycle?

This depends on your desired outcome and if this is individual or group coaching. In general, 12 sessions over a 6 month period is preferable to start with; however, our coaching cycles are tailored to meet your specific needs, schedule and motivation for change .
