Spiritual direction is different from pastoral counseling and psychotherapy, which tend to be problem-centered and (hopefully) not lifelong. Spiritual direction is centered around growing one’s relationship with God, and is a lifelong process. It also differs from discipleship, mentoring and coaching, though there is or may be overlap with all of the above. Common to the best of all of these are safety, empathy, connection and empowerment.
