What is Counselling and Psychotherapy?

Counselling and psychotherapy both involve talking to a therapist to help process and resolve issues of an emotional, personal, relational or behavioural nature. Although there is no definitive distinction between counselling and psychotherapy – in general counselling helps us to deal with specific life issues affecting us in the here and now and psychotherapy helps us to deal with more deep rooted issues related to past experiences which are still causing difficulties in our life and relationships.
