Counselling or Psychotherapy

It is not unusual for people to ask what the difference is between counselling and psychotherapy. Usually people choose to have counselling because they are experiencing difficulties and distress in their lives Counselling is often time limited and focuses on the immediate or pressing problem. If you are struggling with a particular difficulty and would like to explore it, without enquiring too much into the root causes, counselling may support you.

Psychotherapy has a tendency to be longer term as it seeks to address the deeper issues that lie beneath the presenting difficulties and problems. Psychotherapy can help you understand how past experiences, often from childhood, affect your everyday life and the way you view yourself. This approach takes longer as building up a sense of trust and safety with the therapist needs time to develop. The longer term work involved in psychotherapy often leads to a deeper, more established relationship between client and therapist in which childhood traumas and deep seated issues, that are not easily talked about, can be worked through in a greater sense of safety.
