WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE COACH & COUNSELOR (THERAPIST)?

Be it a Life Coach or a Counselor, both plays a very important role in our society. The society that has good counselors & life coaches flourishes. An individual who is willingly working with a life coach or a counselor is bound to make his or her life better in one way or other.

But what exactly does a life coach do? What exactly counselors do? Is there any difference between a counselor and a life coach? Or both are the same? And if there is a difference whom shall I refer to for my own self?
