Abstract: The article addresses the considerations for counsellors contemplating adding coaching services to their practice, emphasizing the importance of competence as defined by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy’s (BACP) Coaching Competence Framework (CCF). It highlights key distinctions between coaching and counselling, noting that coaching is typically time-limited and goal-focused, while counselling often addresses broader emotional distress. The article advises practitioners to pursue thorough coach-specific training, clear contracting, appropriate supervision, and professional insurance before offering coaching, and to carefully assess how coaching fits with their existing practice. It also suggests exploring alternative income diversification aligned with current expertise and approaching coaching as a serious professional development endeavor rather than a quick financial fix.
