How is life coaching different than counseling or therapy?

Counseling, or therapy, often looks to the past in order to discover, heal and understand. Life coaching, on the other hand, looks to the future in order to make a good life even better. In coaching, the starting point is the client’s desire for personal and professional success. A life coach or legacy coach focuses on forwarding all aspects of the client’s life to extraordinary. Life coaching is not about how you came to be who you are; it’s about getting you from where you are now to a future that you want. Coaching does not intend to work on issues such as addictions, severe depressions, severe anxieties, phobias, destructive or abusive patterns or other such conditions.
