How is coaching different from therapy?

Psychology is for “recovery” and Coaching is for “discovery” simply put. People mostly see counselors or therapists when what they are looking for is a sounding board, and someone where they can share their heart and gain valuable support in dealing with past or present trauma’s. Therapy, often deals significantly with the past. Coaching is for those who are in a space where they want to take responsibility for causing results in their life and making things happen. Personal coaching focuses on the present and moving forward toward achieving personal and professional goals. Coaching is goal and action oriented. Coaches work with healthy individuals to create a higher quality of living.
