Hello, I am doing research into Counsultancy and Counselling and trying to establish if there any keys links between the two…If you are a counsellor/consultant, can you please explain some of your procedures in your ‘first meeting’.How would you describe your role/journey with the client?Your comments will be very much apprreciated. Thank you.

Yes, there are links, particularly in the areas of organisational development, coaching, change management, and executive search. The links are perhaps less strong in other areas (e.g. IT or investment consulting).You may get responses additional to this thread by targeting the OD Answers section on LinkedIn or, if you're doing formal academic research, approaching firms such as RightCoutts, Workdirections, Towers Perrin, Whitehead Mann, and Performance Partners with a request to survey or interview some of their employees.
