What is Coaching? 

Coaching is a process that involves a trained professional, known as a coach, working with an individual or a group to facilitate personal and professional development. It is a collaborative and client-centred approach that aims to help individuals set and achieve specific goals, overcome challenges, and maximize their potential. While coaching is distinct from therapy or counselling, it can have a positive impact on mental health in several ways. 

You will have a go at coaching each other to make decisions.

Goal Setting and Clarity

Coaches help individuals identify their goals and aspirations, which can provide a sense of purpose and direction. This clarity can reduce feelings of uncertainty and anxiety about the future.

Stress Reduction

Coaches often assist clients in developing stress management techniques, such as time management, mindfulness, and relaxation exercises. These skills can help reduce stress and anxiety.

Accountability

Coaches hold clients accountable for their actions and progress toward their goals. This accountability can motivate individuals to take positive steps toward improving their mental health.

Confidence and Self-Esteem

Through coaching, individuals can develop greater self-confidence and self-esteem by setting and achieving goals, overcoming obstacles, and acknowledging their strengths and accomplishments.
