Medically reviewed by Gabriela Asturias, MD on June 24, 2024Change is inevitable—but personal growth is intentional. Whether you're facing a transition, feeling stuck, or simply want to become a more fulfilled, empowered version of yourself, personal growth coaching offers a dynamic and customized path forward. Unlike therapy, which often explores the past, coaching focuses on the present and future: who you want to become, what’s holding you back, and how to break through with clarity and confidence.

Though the terms often overlap, there are distinct differences between life coaching and personal growth coaching in focus and approach:
Where a life coach may help you land your dream job, a personal growth coach helps you understand what you truly want, why you’re holding yourself back, and how to build sustainable confidence from the inside out.
Both approaches can be transformative, and many life coaching therapy programs integrate personal growth as a core focus.
Understanding the distinction between coaching and therapy is key when deciding what kind of support you need.
Coaching:
Therapy:
In some cases, individuals may benefit from both. For example, someone working with a self improvement therapist may also hire a personal growth coach to focus on habit change or future planning once they’ve stabilized emotionally.
You don’t have to be in crisis—or even struggling—to benefit from coaching. In fact, some of the most common clients of personal growth coaching are high-functioning individuals who feel they’re not living up to their full potential.
Coaching is ideal for people who:
The best candidates for coaching are curious, open to feedback, and willing to take responsibility for their growth—with the help of a guide who challenges and supports them.
A personal growth coach can help you turn vague intentions into measurable, meaningful progress. Some common goal areas include:
Personal Development
Career and Purpose
Relationships
Health and Lifestyle
You don’t need to arrive with a fully formed goal. A skilled coach will help you clarify what you want—and what’s been blocking you from getting there.
