What is the difference between coaching and psychotherapy?

While both coaching and therapy aim to improve well-being, the key difference is that coaching primarily focuses on setting and achieving future goals, leveraging strengths to move forward, while therapy delves deeper into past experiences and emotional healing to address underlying mental health issues. Essentially, a coach helps you “do better” while a therapist helps you “feel better.”
