Clarifying Coaching and Therapy: Key Differences Every Professional Should Know

As Coaches, we all encounter that moment—the one where you’re working with a client, whether new or established, and suddenly red flags arise. You might find yourself thinking, “Oh no, they don’t need me; they need a therapist.” It’s a common experience in the coaching world, but it can be challenging to know how to respond. This workshop is specifically designed to help you navigate those moments with confidence.

You’ll learn how to identify the subtle yet crucial differences between coaching and therapy, ensuring you understand when a client’s needs go beyond the scope of your practice. Together, we’ll explore how to communicate those boundaries professionally and empathetically, offering you a toolkit of ready responses for when the situation arises.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll be better equipped to recognize when to refer a client to a therapist and how to do so in a way that prioritizes their well-being while maintaining your coaching integrity.
