3. How is coaching different to counselling?
Below are some of the key differences between counselling and coaching.
Counselling
Coaching
Below are some of the key differences between counselling and coaching.
Counselling
- Focuses on coping.
- Focuses on problems.
- Often focuses on the clients’ past to help clients solve their problems.
- The counsellor mostly or solely gives solutions, recommendations and advice.
Coaching
- Is solution-focused. Coaches help their clients set and achieve goals in order to help solve clients’ problems and improve their lives.
- Focusses on the present and future to help clients move forward in life.
- Coaches encourage their clients to find the solutions to the clients’ problems, and the strategies to achieve these solutions. This is because a number of experts believe that people are more likely to change if they come up with the answers to their problems themselves, rather than having others simply tell them what to do. Coaches do still provide ideas and advice to their clients when required, but this is given in particular ways that enhance effectiveness, build trust between the client and coach and so on.

7. What is the difference between a nutritionist and a dietitian?
According to the Nutrition Society of Australia (NSA), "Nutritionists may design, coordinate, implement and evaluate a range of population health interventions to improve the wellbeing of individuals, communities and the population as a whole, through better food and nutrition."
Nutritionists can become, for example, nutrition consultants, nutrition communicators, food technologists, and researchers.
Dietitians Australia says, "In Australia all dietitians are nutritionists however nutritionists without a dietetics qualification cannot take on the expert role of a dietitian."
Nutritionists who are not dietitians are not qualified to provide medical advice/medical nutrition therapy nor create nutrition plans/menus to treat specific health problems. Dietitians, however, are qualified to perform such duties. Dietitians are allowed to prescribe dietary treatments.
Nutritionists who are not dietitians can say what might be causing people’s food-related health problems, and provide ideas to help improve people’s diets and eating habits.
