Why Get Help?

Realism, Personal Responsibility, Individualism. All worthy goals! Coaching with Dr. Hurd is solution-focused and goal-oriented. Time is spent discussing your problems in the here-and-now, with reference to your background and your childhood only when relevant.

Therapy tends to be about what’s wrong, what are the symptoms and what can someone else do for you to relieve you?

Coaching, in contrast, tends to be about what’s right, what your track record is, what are your strengths, what are your potentialities and how can you build on them?

Therapy tends to label you, while coaching tends to lift you up.

Consultation/coaching by email, phone or live chat, while potentially very helpful, is not psychotherapy. Psychotherapy can include treatment of serious mental or emotional disorders, while long-distance consultation is for everyday life problems, stress management, or just needing someone to talk to.
