Coaching
Empowering growth, clarity, and purposeful change
At The Counselling House, Coaching provides focused, action-oriented support for individuals who want to make meaningful changes in their personal or professional lives. Whether you’re seeking direction, motivation, or accountability, coaching helps you clarify goals, overcome barriers, and take confident steps forward.
Using strategies drawn from positive psychology, solution-focused approaches, and mindfulness-based practices, sessions promote self-awareness, confidence, and sustainable change. Coaching can help with challenges such as career transitions, stress management, leadership development, communication, weight loss, or life balance.
Unlike therapy, coaching focuses on the present and future, helping you create a clear plan to achieve your goals while aligning with your values and strengths.
Sessions are available in-person, online, or by phone, and tailored to your individual needs.
