The difference is concentration and duration.

​

Those who are seeking therapy are looking to solve issues that go beyond the surface of their problems and look to deeper explore themselves and their relationship.

 

For coaching, coaching is focused on specific goals and action oriented growth and development. Those who sign up for coaching are signing up for proactive work with less concentration on past traumas and healing, and are more so focused on present outcomes related to their goals. 

 

The duration for coaching is anywhere from 1-9 months maximum.

Whereas therapy can be short term but is more often a long term process.
