Beside personal therapy, boundary setting is one of the essential elements to develop effective client-counsellor relationship.

These definitions capture the vital elements of coaching Whitmore (2002) highlights the “person’s potential to maximise their own performance”, and also highlights an important aspect of coaching, that is the coach’s belief about human potential and that this belief will make a difference to the process.

I always feel a little nervous when I have to talk to stranger or someone I'm not familiar with.
