Coaching vs. Therapy: Understanding the Distinction

While both coaching and therapy aim to support individuals in leading fulfilling lives, they differ in focus, methodology, and outcomes.

Therapy is a clinical practice conducted by licensed professionals trained to diagnose and treat mental health conditions. It often involves exploring past experiences to understand present behaviors and emotions, aiming to heal psychological issues and improve overall mental health. 

Coaching, on the other hand, is a collaborative process that focuses on setting and achieving specific personal or professional goals. Coaches work with functional individuals seeking to enhance their lives, guiding them from a functional state to an optimal one. This process is action-oriented and future-focused, emphasizing personal development and performance enhancement.
