What is the difference between Counselor, Therapist, and Life Coaching


Once you decide you would like to find professional help, finding the right fit can be challenging.

To simplify, let’s focus on three professional titles that may be confusing.Here are definitions from The American Psychological Association.
- A counselor provides professional evaluations, information, and suggestions designed to
enhance the client’s ability to solve problems, make decisions, and effect desired changes in
attitude and behavior.
- A therapist is an individual who has been trained in and practices one or more types of therapy
to treat mental or physical disorders or diseases.
- Life Coaching is a form of teaching and encouragement (one-to-one or coach-to-group) designed
to help individuals identify and meet goals of importance to them in their personal and work
lives.

Still unsure?

In general, life coaching is a good fit if you seek a one-to-one supportive relationship to help
you meet and stick to important goals.
