When people want to work with me they are usually ready for what's next. They're wanting something to change. And coaching can absolutely build determination, resolve, energy and inspiration to move forward.
But sometimes people are stuck. They need therapy - not coaching. When I get a sense that this is the case, I'm always going to go there and open up that important conversation. I'm also happy to share that I've sought counselling and therapy at different times in my life and it has made all the difference - in a really positive way. 'Conquer yourself and you conquer the world' (to misquote Plato).
The theme for Mental Health Awareness Week (this week) is "Make mental health and wellbeing for all a global priority". What do you do to make your own mental health and well-being a priority?
