THERAPY VS COACHING?
Life coaching and therapy are both great tools for self-discovery. And while there may be some overlap between the two, in that they help you understand yourself better, they do differ in both their focus and their approach.
Coaching is a dynamic discipline designed to help motivate and inspire people to achieve more than they believe is possible. If you would like to take your life to the next level and make positive changes, then life coaching is for you.
