In practice, two main approaches can be distinguished: expert consulting and process consulting.
In expert consulting, the counselor provides domain-specific knowledge, for example in legal or IT contexts. The focus is on concrete recommendations and practical implementation options.
In process consulting, the concern is clear but the solution is not yet known. The counselor supports the client in finding their own solution, clarifying goals, and activating existing resources.
