There is a difference between Counselling and Psychotherapy.

​

Both Counselling and Psychotherapy are based on the relationship between the Therapist and the Client.

​

Counselling focuses on a specific problem and taking the steps to address or solve it.The emphasis is on the present without too much attention on past experiences.

​

Psychotherapy usually goes on for longer than Counselling. It explores repeating patterns of behaviour and recurrent negative feelings. How behaviour patterns from the past are having a negative impact in the present can often be a focus.

​

The aim of Psychotherapy is to resolve the underlying issues causing distress.

​

What happens in the relationship between the Client and Therapist can be a

reflection of what is happening outside in the world of the Client. This applies especially to relationships.
