Counselling or Psychotherapy

The difference between counselling and psychotherapy may not always be clear-cut and to some extent, the two systems do overlap.

 Both are based on a trusting and collaborative relationship between the client and the counsellor/therapist. This therapeutic relationship can help us to understand how we experience the world within us, and in our relationships with others, intellectually and emotionally.

 Both counselling and psychotherapy involve various helping and caring skills, such as active listening, questioning and reflecting with an empathic understanding. In this ‘talking treatment’ process, words with their associated meanings and feelings become the primary source of communication regardless of the therapeutic system and style.

 

However, while counselling and psychotherapy share similarities in therapeutic values and outcomes, they are not the same.  Counselling may be better indicated for specific and recent problems and affects, while psychotherapy may be helpful in looking at long-standing and more deep-seated issues that may reflect some past, and often unconscious, inner conflicts affecting our life.

 

How Counselling and Psychotherapy

Can Help

 

With either approach, the aim is to support the client in an explorative journey, helping him or her to deal with problems in new ways, and progress towards greater self-awareness and a more resourceful and satisfying life.
