DISCLAIMER: Coaching is a non-clinical service focused on helping individuals achieve goals, develop strategies, and manage challenges like misophonia. Unlike counselling or psychotherapy, coaching does not involve clinical assessment or addressing complex emotional or psychological issues. Instead, it emphasizes practical solutions through psychoeducation, goal-setting and skill-building. Counselling and psychotherapy, provided by licensed professionals, address emotional and behavioural concerns within strict ethical guidelines. For mental health needs, seek a licensed therapist. The International Misophonia Foundation offers a global Clinician Directory for support.
