IS LIFE COACHING OR COUNSELLING AND THERAPY BEST FOR YOU?

Steve Brown from Hibiscus Life Coaching

Do you feel like your life’s going well, but you could use some help and support to reach your full potential? This guide will help you decide between life coaching and counselling or therapy.

Life Coaching:
• Coaching focuses on the future. Life coaches act as your cheerleader and brainstorming buddy, helping you set and achieve goals you're excited about. They focus on the present and what you can do to move forward.

• Action-oriented: Life coaching is a collaborative process. You'll work together to develop strategies and overcome obstacles to reach your goals, whether it's improving your career, relationships, or overall well-being.
• Short Term: Life coaching is typically shorter-term than therapy, often lasting just a few weeks or months. It's ideal for those who are generally happy but want to take things to the next level.

Counselling often involves:
• Addressing Deeper Issues: Counsellors or therapists can help you understand and overcome challenges originating from past experiences, negative emotions, or mental health conditions. Therapy can be a long-term commitment, depending on your needs.
The bottom line:
• Life coaching is ideal if you're looking for a supportive partner and coach to help you achieve specific goals and navigate life transitions.
• Counselling is the better choice if you're struggling with deeper emotional issues or mental health concerns.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
