In addition to coaching, counseling and consulting exist as other forms of assistance in working with people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coaching is heavily influenced by counseling, a psychotherapy that has been systematized with Freud’s “psychoanalysis” as its source in 1900. However, while counseling is a therapeutic act that aims to return a person in a state of illness to a normal state of mind, i.e., a vector from negative to zero, coaching aims to extend the vector in a more positive direction for a healthy person who expects to improve his\/her performance in a specific field. This is where the difference can be found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have created a table that clearly organizes the differences between coaching, counseling, and consulting. This is an important perspective, so we would like you to grasp the overall view first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
