‘What’s the difference between counselling and parent coaching?’ is a question often asked. Think of your car. There are times when your car needs a repair…perhaps the engine needs to come out, be stripped down, a part replaced, and then rebuilt. Other times your car needs to go in for a service, a check up. It hasn’t stopped running, but may not be running as efficiently as it will once the plugs have been changed, the engine tuned, and some oil applied!
