Therapy and coaching are distinct approaches aimed at personal development, but they differ in focus, methodology, and the nature of the issues addressed. Therapy is often associated with addressing mental health concerns and emotional well-being, while coaching is more goal-oriented, focusing on personal and professional development. Both can be valuable, depending on individual needs and objectives.
