Life & Relationship Coaching with Joanne Vogel
Helping You Move Beyond 'What Now?'
For many people, counselling provides essential support in times of emotional distress. It helps them heal, process past experiences, and regain a sense of stability. But what happens next? Many individuals reach a point where they ask themselves:
"I feel ready to end counselling.... but where do I go from here?"
This is exactly why I co-authored the book E.M.P.O.W.E.R. — a framework designed to guide people from recovery to growth. If you’ve completed counselling and find yourself wondering what’s next in your journey, coaching can help you take that next step towards purpose, confidence, and achievement.

What Happens in a Coaching Session? How it differs from Counselling
|
If you're considering coaching but aren’t quite sure what to expect, you're not alone. Many people wonder, “How does coaching work?” and “How is it different from counselling?” This guide will walk you through what happens in a typical coaching session and how it differs from counselling so you can make an informed decision about what’s right for you.
What to expect in a Coaching SessionA coaching session is a structured conversation designed to help you clarify your goals, overcome obstacles, and take action towards positive change.

Unlike counselling, which often focuses on healing from the past, coaching is future-focused and action-oriented.
Here’s what happens in a typical coaching session:
Here’s what happens in a typical coaching session:
Defining Your Goals and Aspirations
The session begins by identifying what you want to achieve. This could be related to career, personal development, relationships, or life balance. If you’re unsure, I will help you explore your values, passions, and priorities to find clarity.
Identifying Challenges and Opportunities
Once your goal is clear, the next step is to uncover what’s holding you back. This might be limiting beliefs, lack of confidence, or external obstacles. I use powerful coaching techniques to help you reframe challenges and identify opportunities for growth.
Creating an Action Plan
Coaching is all about taking practical steps forward. Each session will involve creating a personalised action plan with clear, achievable steps that move you closer to your goal. Unlike counselling, which may be more open-ended, coaching is structured to drive measurable progress.
Developing Strategies for Success
During your session, you’ll learn tools and techniques to stay motivated, manage setbacks, and build resilience. This could include mindset shifts, time management strategies, or communication techniques—depending on your coaching goals.
Reviewing Progress and Adjusting Your Plan
