Differences between Coaching and Therapy
Jan 16, 2023
Coaching and therapy are equally valid tools when used in the right circumstances. We believe that in the absence of a clinical need to support an individual, coaching can be a more effective and powerful choice.
As an example: someone suffering from severe anxiety and frequent panic attacks that disrupt their daily life will clearly benefit from therapy. A person who feels anxious about a forthcoming performance, event or task will benefit from coaching that equips them with tools and techniques to move forward and achieve their goals.

| Usually requires long term commitment | Generally short term-limited number of sessions |
| Main outcome is understanding | Main outcome is improved performance |
| Meeting 50 minutes weekly | Meeting is tailored to the individual client |
