When it comes to comparing coaching and therapy, one is not better or worse. Each person has different goals and what might work for one person might not work for someone else.

A coach can assist you with setting goals and creating an action plan to reach those goals.

A therapist can help you achieve some of your goals too, but they can offer deeper self-exploration, plus cognitive tools for healing and managing mental health.
