What is Professional
Coaching?

Profesyonel koçluk ve benzer disiplinlerle ilişkileri

Professional coaching is a tool that facilitates positive change, helping individuals get to know themselves better, reveal their potential, reach personal or professional goals that are meaningful to them, and lead a more fulfilling life.

 

It is important to underline that professional coaching is not a mentoring or psychotherapy service. Unlike a mentor, a professional coach is not an expert who offers advice to the client, telling her/him what to do. The most important difference from psychotherapy is that trauma-related experiences and symptoms are not within the scope of professional coaching. Past or present traumas, post-traumatic stress disorders, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder, etc. fall within the domain of psychiatry and clinical psychology.

 

Professional coaching is a journey of change where the client sets a goal for herself/himself for the whole process and works collaboratively with the coach to achieve this goal through the coaching sessions. Coaching goals can be about performance, personal growth, or fulfillment in life. In this journey, the coach holds a safe and compassionate space for the client where there is no judgment but acceptance and supports her/him in moving forward towards the future s/he dreams of. Throughout the coaching process, the client embraces her/his own essence, meets with her/his uniqueness, produces her/his own solutions through a thought-provoking and creative process, and takes deliberate actions toward her/his goal. In the coaching relationship, the coach is a facilitator and companion who supports the client in identifying meaningful goals, discovering her/his strengths and values, increasing awareness, improving self-confidence, and becoming the person s/he desires to be.

 

Professional coaching service is for adult individuals who want to create positive and long-lasting change in their lives. If you want to develop insight, achieve performance or personal development goals, or have a more fulfilling life, professional coaching can be beneficial for you. The frequency of the sessions and the duration of the coaching relationship may vary depending on the needs of the person.
