What’s the difference between Counselling and Psychotherapy?
There’s a lot of overlap. Both can be enriching and help you to deal with your problems in a more effective way. Counselling often focuses on a specific problem, whereas psychotherapy tends to deal with more deep-seated issues arising from your past. Many people who seek psychotherapy are not in a crisis, but are interested in finding out about themselves, improving relationships and living a more rewarding life. Unlike most counsellors, psychotherapists will have been through therapy themselves as part of their training and development.
