COACHING vs. MENTORING vs. THERAPY

COACHING – Future-focused, goal-oriented, action-driven.

Helps individuals achieve personal & professional growth.
Provides clarity, accountability & motivation.
Coaches guide but don’t give direct advice.

MENTORING – Experience-based, wisdom-sharing, long-term.

A mentor shares personal experiences & insights.
Focuses on career & personal development.
More informal & relationship-driven.

THERAPY – Healing-focused, past-oriented, emotional well-being.

Helps individuals overcome trauma, anxiety & mental health challenges.
Uses structured interventions & psychological tools.
Provided by licensed professionals.

Key Difference? Coaching helps you move forward, mentoring provides guidance, and therapy helps heal the past.
