What is the difference in Life Coaching and Therapy?

In therapy you focus on mental health and emotional healing. Usually in therapy you are working through things in your past, such as trauma, grief, past life changes. With holistic life coaching we focus on the present and the future, with the goal of setting and achieving goals.
