3. Demarcation from psychotherapy
Dr. Natalia Wiechowski is not a psychotherapist and does not replace one. Coaching is based on a coach-client-relationship, which is characterized by a cooperative partnership and clearly distinguishes the role of the coach from therapists and doctors. Psychotherapy is problem and symptom oriented, it deals with the past and strives to heal old wounds. Coaching is solution-oriented and focused on the present and future. Psychotherapy is the targeted treatment of a “mental illness”. Coaching serves the “healthy” person, who is capable of acting and self-reflection. The result of coaching is not the alleviation of psychological complaints, but the individual development of the client, which is accompanied by an increase in his/her general quality of life. Each client is responsible for him-/herself before, during and after the coaching. By placing an order, the client simultaneously confirms that he/she feels mentally and physically healthy and is able to participate in the coaching.
