Life coaching can be therapeutic, but it is not therapy.

Traditional therapy is designed to address psychological disorders.

In coaching, emotional issues may arise, and problematic thoughts and actions may be examined.  But there is little emphasis placed on the past.

Instead, the primary focus of life coaching is to help you identify your goals, achieve them, and develop constructive habits and skills that lead to life-long resilience.

Creating what you want now and in the future is at the heart of life coaching.
