Coaching vs. Therapy: What's the Difference?
While both coaching and therapy can be supportive and transformative, they serve different purposes:
-
Therapy helps you explore and heal from the past, understand patterns in the present, and build emotional tools to navigate life’s challenges. It’s especially useful if you’re experiencing significant distress, trauma, or mental health concerns.
-
Coaching is future-focused and action-oriented. It’s for people who are generally functioning well but want clarity, accountability, and support in reaching personal or professional goals. Coaching emphasizes growth, performance, and practical steps forward.
If you’re not sure which is right for you, I’m happy to talk through your goals and help you decide.
