I think, your needs define your goals. Once you are clear on what needs of yours your therapy fulfills, these are your goals. I really don't see the difference. If you are in therapy for support, then getting support from a T is your goal. If you are for personal growth, then personal growth is your goal. If you want symptoms reduction - that is your goal. Whatever it is, it is crucial to have a conversation with T about it at the very beginning of therapy, because otherwise you may find yourself in the situation when you and your T have different goals for you, and that situation is potentially harmful.

A side note on personal growth: this is so broad and so vague that unless it's specified, you and T may have different ideas about it. Personal growth may be happening in thousands of different directions simultaneously and there could be thousands of different goals as we move forward. Personal growth is not something abstract. It's happening here and now, and at each given moment we are engaged in different life situations that require us to develop different aspects of ourselves. I, personally, wouldn't be willing to spend big bucks and a lot of time for some abstract growth. At each specific period of my life I have a specific task to complete and this specific task would be my therapy goal for this particular time. I've also learned from experience that when growth is an abstract word, no growth takes place.
