Each of these methods are similar in their overall approach.  However, they differ in emphasis.  Counselling is really for more general personal problems.  Coaching is more about teaching you strategies to overcome specific problems.  Psychotherapy tends to be more long term and focused on helping you overcome more serious challenges.

Each of these methodologies however share similarities, in that the therapist or coach will listen to your situation, identify the root cause of the problems and formulate a plan that will help you overcome that problem.

Each session typically builds on the previous session.  You will be given new strategies and you’ll shift your thinking to where it needs to be for you to overcome your challenges and go on to thrive.

At Clear Day  Consulting we help you get to the bottom of your problems by focusing on identifying root causes, not symptoms.  We do this because it is the only way to achieve lasting results.

The process of counselling or psychotherapy is roughly the same. In each case, you meet with a therapist who listens to your situation, identifies the causes of your problems and then formulates a plan that will overcome your problem.

You don’t have to talk about anything you don’t want to talk about, although we find it is very helpful to talk to someone who is there to help.

Once you have a plan it is simply a matter of following the plan until you are getting the results you want.  For most people, this is usually within 5 – 10 sessions. Some people will require longer-term help.  If we don’t believe we can help we will recommend you to someone who can.  You’ll know if its working because you begin seeing results quickly.

Most people who use counselling and psychotherapy services will enjoy the process as they become more empowered to solve their problems and know that they aren’t alone.
