The 5 D’s
A counsellor might work with those who are experiencing significant levels of distress which is impacting on their daily life
A therapist might work with those that are seen as damaged or dysfunctional in some way as a result of a previous trauma or experience
A mentor might work with those seeking direction and advice from someone with experience
A consultant might work with an individual looking to diagnose the problems they are facing
A coach works with clients around their desire to move forward in their lives. They aid the client to uncover their own answers using their internal resources
