CCN Member Call: Tuesday 3:00 PM EASTERN

Member Professional Development Call: Maintaining Boundaries Between Coaching and Counseling  

with Grant Porteous

Have you ever wondered before if you might be better getting your client to connect with a professional therapist or counselor?

With so many behavioral health professionals adding coaching to their practices, the field of coaching overall stands to gain a great deal from the professionalism, integrity, and high standards for which therapists and counselors are commonly known. However, challenges related to clearly identifying the differences between coaching and counseling remain ongoing, and identifying ways of separating the two services continue to be very real and problematic. 

Please join us as Grant Porteous, who is both a professional coach and a therapist, facilitates a conversation with CCN members about common pitfalls and problems in creating and maintaining separate identities between coaching and counseling. Share your own experiences about ways to help other members avoid the issues of blurring the lines between these two vitally important, but highly unique and distinct, services.

This call is not only for former or practicing therapists and counselors. It is for any Christian coach who wants to understand where the boundary lines may be in being a believer who cares and wants to offer good assistance by pointing clients to the Lord and the truths of His word. Grant will help you sort that out.
