Well supposedly psychotherapy is about more than just a relationship. A good therapist will bring in every skill they can to help their client recover. There is usually a goal or goals in a T relationship. These goals relate to recovering from something. In regular relationships you usually don't get together with a goal in mind. I mean yeah you may have similiar interests or you may want to be together to be less lonely or what have you but it is balanced. Each person shares their lives. In therapy it is unbalanced for the sake of recovery. The T keeps their baggage out of the picture so that their client can work through their own issues or what have you.

I am sure I could have said this all more succinctly and I am sure I have left things out but this is how I see it.
