Difference Between Coaching and Psychotherapy 


In addition to being a couples coach, Ma’ayan Greenbaum PsyD is also a licensed Psychologist in New Jersey with training and experience in diagnosing and treating emotional problems. While there are some similarities between coaching and psychotherapy, they are different activities and it is important that you understand the differences between them. Psychotherapy is a health care service and is usually reimbursable through health insurance policies. This is not true for coaching. Both coaching and psychotherapy utilize knowledge of human behavior, motivation and behavioral change, and interactive counseling techniques. The major differences are in the goals, focus, and level of professional responsibility. 
Coaching is a professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary results in their lives, relationships, or organizations - helping them to bridge the gap between where they are now and where they want to be. Coaches honor the client as the expert in his or her life and believe every client is creative, resourceful and whole. Coaches partner with their clients to design the life they desire, bring out their clients’ own brilliance and resources so that they can realize their highest potential and create purposeful, meaningful lives. By helping their clients gain clarity while developing new mindsets and skills, coaching moves the client into action, accelerating their progress by providing greater focus and awareness of all the possibilities which exist to create fulfilling lives. Coaching utilizes personal strategic planning, values clarification, brainstorming, motivational counseling, and other counseling techniques. 


The primary foci of psychotherapy are identification, diagnosis, and treatment of mental and nervous disorders. The goals of psychotherapy include alleviating symptoms, understanding the underlying dynamics which create symptoms, changing dysfunctional behaviors which are the result of these disorders, and developing new strategies for successfully coping with the psychological challenges which we all face. Most research on psychotherapy outcomes indicates that the quality of the relationship is most closely correlated with therapeutic progress. Psychotherapy patients are often emotionally vulnerable. The past life experiences of psychotherapy patients have often made trust difficult to achieve. These factors give psychotherapists greatly disproportionate power that creates a fiduciary responsibility to protect the safety of their clients and to “above all else, do no harm.” 


The relationship between the coach and client is specifically designed to avoid the power differentials that occur in the psychotherapy relationship. The client sets the agenda and the success of the enterprise depends on the client’s willingness to take risks and try new approaches. The relationship is designed to be more direct and challenging. You can count on your coach to be honest and straightforward, asking powerful questions and using challenging techniques to move you forward. Coaching focuses on increasing self-awareness and making deliberate choices for desired future results. Solutions to current problems in living are addressed with the assumption that the client is the creator and artist of his or her life. 


Because of these differences, the roles of coach and psychotherapist may be in potential conflict and, under most circumstances, it is ethically inappropriate for one to play both roles with a client, whether concurrently or sequentially. Positive change is difficult enough without having to worry about role confusion. This means that if either of us recognizes that you have a problem that would benefit from psychotherapeutic intervention, you will be referred to appropriate resources. 


It is also important to understand that coaching is a professional relationship. While it may often feel like a close personal relationship, it is not one that can extend beyond professional boundaries both during and after our work together. Considerable experience shows that when boundaries blur, the hard won benefits gained from the coaching relationship are endangered.
