What’s the difference between coaching and counseling?

At Ego Strength Coaching, I bring deep experience in both counseling and coaching. While they can overlap, they serve different purposes—and knowing the difference can help you get the right kind of support.

Coaching

In the world. Active. Requires ego strength.

  • Flexible meeting locations, including virtual

  • Ongoing communication and accountability between sessions

  • Focus on aligned risks, growth, and integration

  • Requires emotional resilience and ego strength

  • Targets identity, relationships, purpose, and leadership

Coaching is for when you're ready to act. It’s about evolving your self-concept, boundaries, and impact—with clarity and momentum.

Counseling

In-office. Gentle. Grounded in emotional healing.

  • One-on-one in a private office setting

  • Little or no contact between sessions

  • Gentler pace with emphasis on safety and integration

  • Healing from trauma, grief, anxiety, or childhood patterns

  • Stabilization and insight-oriented mental health support

Counseling helps you understand where you’ve been—so you can heal, stabilize, and come home to yourself.

What is Ego Strength?

In psychology, ego strength is your capacity to hold boundaries. face discomfort, feel emotions fully, and still act with clarity and integrity. It's the inner strength that lets you change without losing yourself.

It’s not about having a big ego.
It’s about having a strong ego—the kind that can:

  • Face discomfort without shutting down

  • Hold boundaries without guilt

  • Feel big emotions without getting hijacked

  • Make choices aligned with your values—not just your fears or old patterns

Ego strength is what allows you to grow without losing yourself.

To be in relationship without disappearing.
To change without collapsing.

It’s not about becoming perfect.
It’s about becoming anchored.
