Counselling focuses on providing short-term guidance and support to help you address specific issues or life challenges. While Psychotherapy on the other hand provider deeper and longer-term guidance and support, helping address underlying patterns, emotional difficulties/ dysregulation, and mental health conditions. Both are conducted by trained professionals, but psychotherapy involves more intensive work by exploring past experiences and deeper emotional work to identify root causes and provide lasting change.
A counsellor holds a master’s degree in counselling and uses talk therapy to help client develop coping strategies and provides short-term support. A psychotherapist and psychologist hold advanced degrees (master’s or doctorate degrees), provide talk therapy, and utilize evidence based therapeutic modalities for long-term support. A psychologist can also provide psychological testing and diagnose. A social worker holds a master’s degree in social work and provides holistic support meaning both mental health advocacy, psychotherapy when clinically licensed, and connection to social services.
You might benefit from therapy if you are experiencing ongoing stress, anxiety, mood swings, depression, grief, relationship difficulties or any situation that feels too difficult to manage. Therapy can help you gain perspective, develop coping strategies, and improve your overall emotional well-being. If you are also curious but unsure about needing therapy, you may benefit from increased self-awareness and unlock more of your subconscious to help you understand your reactions.
During your first session, your therapist will take time to understand your concerns, discuss your goals, and outline a plan for your therapy. It’s an opportunity to ask questions and get comfortable with the process.
