Coaching (also referred to as “life-coaching”) is a field of counseling which focuses on motivation, support, and generating lasting confidence as a means of helping people establish and reach goals to advance themselves. Unlike most forms of therapy, does not require a degree or official certification, though many programs exist for coaching certification.
While other forms of therapy are typically founded on specific theories or concepts, coaching is considered more free-form and can vary greatly from coach to coach, depending on their individual preferences.
