Here are a couple of industry definitions, for "Coaching":

coaching is the future-focused practice of partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Professional coaching focuses on setting goals, creating outcomes, and managing personal change.

a transformative process for personal and professional awareness, discovery and growth.

A coach is responsible for discovering, clarifying, and aligning with what the client wants to achieve; encouraging client self-discovery; eliciting client-generated solutions and strategies; and holding the clients responsible and accountable for meeting goals and creating outcomes.

In imparting helpful information, sharing anecdotal experiences, suggesting resources (including but not limited to support groups, books and specialized service providers), and offering supportiveness to our clients and students --- all of this is designed to give them more options through which to make viable decisions on their own behalf, including empowering them to cultivate an extensive resource base of which we are only a small part. 

In short, we should all encourage clients and students to seek resources in addition to our coaching services. This models autonomous and empowered self-care, rather than a culture of over-dependence (upon us, or anyone). In many ways, a coach becomes a safe, informative and encouraging accountability partner for someone --- as they walk along their respective healing journey.
