Coaching vs. Counselling:
Why Choose One Over the Other?

website coaching intro.mp3

A person chooses coaching when they're focused on creating change and building a brighter future. Coaching helps establish a clear direction, set actionable goals, and navigate the steps toward achieving them.


On the other hand, a person chooses counselling when they're grappling with unresolved issues from the past that hold them back from feeling free and happy in the present. Counselling delves into these past experiences to uncover and process the emotions tied to them.


However, each approach has its limitations:

• Coaching often overlooks the past, which can leave the root cause of current challenges unaddressed.

• Counselling, while therapeutic, can lack a focused path toward specific goals, as the conversation may meander based on what the client recalls.


Emotional Alignment Coaching and Counselling bridges this gap by blending the strengths of both approaches. It begins like coaching, with a focus on setting future goals, but includes an additional step: uncovering and addressing the underlying difficulties that make progress toward these goals challenging. This step mirrors counselling, yet remains tightly focused on the problem affecting goal achievement.


The result? Greater clarity and capability in the specific area being addressed. Once emotional alignment is achieved, goals become much easier to set and accomplish.


With Emotional Alignment Coaching and Counselling, you no longer need to choose one or the other—you can have the best of both worlds. Start resolving challenges and achieving your goals today!

A word from JoannaRuth...

Emotional Alignment is the cornerstone of good health, both mentally and physically. When you’re misaligned, you may find yourself making decisions that don’t truly align with your deepest desires. Many people struggle unnecessarily because of this misalignment.

As an expert in Emotional Alignment, I work with you to uncover the root of your challenges. Sessions are conducted much like an interview, where I carefully analyse your answers—focusing on the words you choose, the emotions you express, and the energy behind your communication. Together, we identify the misalignment and work toward re-aligning your decisions with your true goals.


I’m passionate about my work and deeply committed to your success. Each session is designed to achieve results within a two-hour timeframe. Feel free to reach out with any questions via email, and join my monthly free Zoom info sessions as often as you like. You can also explore examples on my YouTube channel.


My advice:

Take a chance on the possibility of miracles. 


Try Emotional Alignment Coaching and Counselling—even just once—and discover what’s possible.


Take care,

JoannaRuth

Reviews from Current and Previous Clients

Jeanne

I am a very independent person. I have never asked for help with any challenge. But when I experienced real difficulty sticking to a new health plan, I decided to take a chance with a health coach and I chose JoannaRuth Goldman. What a revelation! She acknowledged the things I knew and was experiencing, but she saw it all from a slightly different perspective and that made all the difference. She gave me new points of reference for my feelings and the reactions I have set up for those feelings. Now I have a new plan to follow for achieving my health goals that fit with my lifestyle. Thank you Joanna!

Mary P

I wanted to find out why I just could not say "No" to certain things. It has been a problem for a very long time in my life. It was ruining my life more and more. I thought I would just do the one session to see if what JoannaRuth says she does is true. I was expecting I would need more sessions to get this problem sorted.

I'm so pleased. I have only needed the one session. I feel much more confident in myself. I'm easily saying No now, and its exactly what I wanted. I don't have any pressure now, when I want to say No, I just say no.

I can't thank JoannaRuth enough. She is really good at what she does. It's true too, she really does love her job.

Brian H

I was really unsure at first. It was hard to make a choice of who to work with. I'm so glad I chose you. You just feel so calm. Even on zoom I feel calmer after the session with you. Thanks for being so supportive and non-judgemental of me. I have more work to do to understand my anxiety, but I've you on my side. I'll get there. Thanks again.
