   Coach, Mentor or Therapist? Khadija Breaks Down the Difference

   What's the real difference between a coach, a mentor, and a therapist? In this episode of Mohsin My Mentor, host Mohsin sits down with Khadija — a psychology graduate-turned-entrepreneur with more than 17 years of business experience and founder of a coach training academy in Pakistan — to unpack what coaching actually is and why it's so often misunderstood. Khadija shares her personal journey from studying psychology to building a career as an entrepreneur, and how her own search for guidance led her to discover coaching as a distinct, client-centred discipline — different from both mentoring and therapy. She breaks down the various coaching niches (career, wellness, burnout, executive), explains how ICF certification works (including the three credentialing levels and the required coaching hours), and offers practical advice on finding and verifying a genuinely credentialed coach. The conversation closes with an honest look at why people hesitate to pay for coaching — and the mindset shift needed on both sides of that transaction. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a corporate leader, or simply curious about what a coach could do for you, this episode offers a clear, practical roadmap. In this episode: Khadija's journey from psychology to entrepreneurship to coaching Coaching vs. mentoring — what's the real difference? Which industries and professionals actually need a coach ICF certification levels and hour requirements explained How to verify if a coach is genuinely credentialed Is there a minimum qualification to become a coach?
