How does it differ from psychotherapy? While psychotherapy helps resolve intra-psychic conflict by understanding the self better, LIFE NAVIGATION/COACHING helps deal with life situations by understanding the situation better and making good pragmatic choices. There is an emphasis on problem-solving and setting future goals. The NAVIGATOR/COACH takes a very ACTIVE role in the life navigation process, unlike psychotherapy which generally avoids giving concrete advice. LIFE NAVIGATORS/COACHES have backgrounds which may include legal training, teaching, business, or psychology. They draw on their educational backgrounds and life experience to serve the needs of their clients.
