What’s the difference

 


A counsellor tells you what to do

A therapist shows you what to do

A life coach supports you in your chosen tools (not to say that a life couch can’t show you a variety and you then you choose).


The problem in the UK is none of these are official legal titles so a life coach can call themself a counsellor or therapist.  A therapist can call themself a counsellor or a life coach and a counsellor can call themself a therapist or a life coach.  And this is where confusion sets in even though the roles are clearly defined.
