The Difference Between Coaching and Therapy
 

Coaching is not about processing your emotional history or diagnosing and treating mental health issues.  Coaching is action oriented with a focus on your current life and plans for the future.  Although therapy deals with your current life, the focus is on the past and its healing process. 

There can be overlap between coaching and therapy, and a well-trained, experienced coach will know when a client needs therapy vs. coaching. 

There is a need for growth other than what therapy provides. 

In therapy, clients may talk about the changes they'd like to make in their lives, but the "how to" and the resources are often missing. Yet such information is a critical key to your success. 


Quick Chart of Distinctions
Between Coaching and Therapy

·   Coaching tends to focus on the here and now; therapy focuses on the past.

·   Coaching = action; therapy = sharing.

·   Coaching = person improves; therapy = issues resolved.

·   Coaching expects/requires a lot from the client. Expecting/requiring a lot is not the same as pressuring the client to perform.
My clients want someone to partner with them. They want a guide who can anticipate the obstacles on the path to this new life.  They want someone that can see their blind spots. They want to work with someone who reminds them of their greatness.  Someone who has tools and training to get them to move forward, with less effort and time, and challenge them to take action in sprite of their fears. 

This need is being met by personal and business coaches such as myself since 1992.
