Coaching, according to the official definition of the International Coaching Federation, is “partnering with the client in a creative process, which provokes the thought and inspires him to maximize his personal and professional potential”. As part of this creative process, the Coach encourages the client to focus on the present and the future and take steps that will bring him closer to achieving his goals and dreams. Instead of focusing on the problem, we focus on solving it. The goal of coaching is success and happiness, as defined by each and every one of us. As a method, coaching combines elements from psychology, sports, pedagogy and business. Influenced by Socrates, building on a dynamic and creative dialogue that generates ideas, coaching helps you identify strengths as well as obstacles that may exist. The most popular types of coaching are:

• Executive coaching
• Life coaching
• Career coaching
• Business coaching
• Relationship/Conflict coaching

In the individual sessions, the patient focuses on issues that concern him and identifies his personal difficulties, entanglements but also hidden strengths of himself. He learns to recognize his feelings and then to express them, exploring new methods of dealing with the issues that concern him. It is a process in which the patient, always accompanied by a psychologist, explores new ways to overcome his difficulties and personal concerns and even seeks the real meaning of his life. The meaning that will help him evolve and get closer to achieving his goals. The patient along with the therapist embark on an exciting journey in order to achieve the patient’s goals and of course a journey to self-knowledge and self-discovery. All of the above, take place in an environment of mutual trust, honesty and acceptance, the foundations that form a proper and ideal therapeutic relationship to achieve the desired result.

Counseling is a process of communication that aims to help an individual, or a group of people, who face difficulties and problems that they can not manage on their own. These problems can relate to their interpersonal relationships, the relationship with themselves, their professional life, and their adaptability in difficult situations. It can also act at the level of prevention, as an effort to inform and sensitize people. A first distinction of counseling can be made, in terms of methodology and procedure, into individual and group. Individual counseling is conducted between the counselor and the consulted, while group counseling is an interpersonal process between the counselor and two or more people who have something in common. In terms of the type of help it provides and the characteristics of the people to whom it is addressed, there are different types of counseling psychology, such as occupational counseling, professional counseling, parent counseling, peer counseling, etc.

Everyone is exposed to stressful situations every day. Stress can even be positive – the so-called eustress – when one is called to deal with it rarely (or only sometimes) and to a limited extent. In this case it acts as a catalyst and activates the person to manage and deal with any situations. The more frequent and intense the stress, the more difficult it is to deal with daily obligations. Emotions, anger, frustration and fear, as well as irritability, fatigue and depression, prevail and do not allow the person to function with concentration.
