PSYCHOTHERAPY OR COUNSELLING?

Written By OLIP THERAPY - Online and In Person Therapy

Psychotherapy and counselling are both forms of talk therapy that can be helpful for individuals experiencing mental health issues such as anxiety, stress, depression and more. However, there are some differences between the two:

Psychotherapy is a broader term that encompasses various approaches to mental health treatment, while counselling refers to a specific type of therapy.

Psychotherapy typically involves a deeper exploration of one's thoughts, feelings and experiences, while counselling tends to focus more on practical problem-solving and finding solutions to immediate issues.

Psychotherapy may involve longer-term treatment, while counselling may have a more defined end goal and time frame.

It is important to note that these definitions can vary depending on the professional and the context in which the terms are used. Ultimately, the most important factor is finding a qualified therapist who can help address your specific needs and concerns.
