Many of the things that I do as a "life coach" are the same as I did as a therapist. I think a coach is a bit more interactive than a therapist. I always had an "active listening" style as a therapist (Rogerian training among others) but I am more interactive and give more instruction and feedback as a coach. I think that coaching is designed for powerful, short-term sessions whereas therapy tends to be (but doesn't have to be) longer term.
