Psychotherapy and counselling are types of therapy that can help boost mental well-being.
Psychotherapy is typically a more in-depth, long-term process that focuses on a person’s feelings and past experiences. It can lead to personal growth.
Counselling, meanwhile, is more likely to refer to short-term talk therapy. It focuses on helping a person find solutions to current issues. An individual can use it to develop strategies, actions, and behaviours that can help make daily life more manageable and enjoyable.
However, there are many cases where either will help, and a person may also have both types of therapy.
- Focuses on recurring or chronic issues.
- Psychotherapy relies on the application of treatment guided by manuals and protocols.
- Treatments are more likely to be theory-driven, such as cognitive behavioural or Jungian.
- Types of psychotherapy can involve talking, cognitive behavioural, art, drama, music, animal, and movement.
