Coaching vs Therapy: What's the Difference?

Coaching clients often ask me what's the difference between Coaching and Therapy.

It's a fair question since Coaching sometimes involves issues that may be covered in Therapy.

The simplest explanation is this:

Coaching is Forward-Looking -- Creating positive solutions going forward. We focus on what's next and how to get there.

Therapy is Backward-Looking -- Trying to determine how the past has contributed to where you are today.

Both can help you get unstuck.
