Abstract

ABSTRACT
Coaching is a type of guidance aiming to promote the establishment and explanation of goals, the development of personal and professional competencies to the optimal level, and the possibility of overcoming mental and emotional blockage and to help to achieve self-realization. Coaching is very much related with counselling. However, people engaged in coaching in our country come from studies different from guidance. This article is a call to guidance practitioners, for them to bear in mind coaching as a possible professional field.
