What’s the difference between Psychotherapy and Counselling?
The terms psychotherapy and counselling are both used to mean a talking therapy for treating emotional and psychological issues without drugs. The words are often used to mean the same thing and the terms at times become interchangeable.
Psychotherapy can have a very generalised meaning. For example reading a book or taking a walk can be “therapeutic” as it can reduce stress and anxiety. It could be considered a form of psychotherapy.
Also “Psychotherapist” could be a description of anyone who provides therapy to help with emotional problems. These terms however have a more specific meaning that is important to be aware of.
