Coaching & Counseling: Everything You Need to Know

Welcome to a special episode of The Coaching Lab, where we’re discussing a hot topic in the world of health & wellness coaching: Coaching and Counseling. What’s the difference? How do they complement one another? Can one replace the other? Does coaching have a role within employee assistance programs? Are there red flags to look for related to either of the two? With mental health garnering critical attention nationally, it’s a subject that must be addressed, whether for coaches, counselors, employers, EAP providers or the general public. 


Our guest, Suzanna Cooper, is both a licensed counselor and a nationally board-certified health and wellness coach and recognized nationally as a thought leader in the field. Her background includes two master's degrees and two licenses covering counseling and occupational therapy. In addition, she has combined this with advanced training in positive behavior change with a specialized focused on intrinsic motivation and motivational interviewing. Suzanna is also one of a very select group of individuals who have been invited to participate in the motivational interviewing network of trainers, a collection of the best and brightest minds from across the globe in this specialty area. She currently serves as the chief learning officer for the Catalyst Coaching Institute and speaks regularly at conferences and events nationwide. Personally, she's the mom to three adult children, married for 32 years to the luckiest man in the world and enjoys everything from hiking to skiing, paddleboarding to running, and especially hanging out with her granddaughters.
