What's the difference between coaching and therapy services?
Coaching and therapy share some similarities, but they serve different purposes. Therapy focuses on healing emotional wounds, addressing mental health concerns, and exploring past experiences that may be affecting your present. It is often deep, reflective, and rooted in clinical frameworks. Coaching, on the other hand, is future-focused and action-oriented—designed to help you set goals, overcome obstacles, and create strategies for personal or professional growth. While therapy helps you process and heal, coaching helps you plan and move forward.
