Although Psychotherapy and Counselling overlap considerably
there are also some differences. The work with clients may
be of considerable depth in both modalities, however, the
focus of Counselling is more likely to be on specific
problems or changes in life adjustment. Psychotherapy is
more concerned with the restructuring of the personality or
self.
Although both Psychotherapists and Counsellors work with a
wide variety of clients, Psychotherapists are more likely
to work very intensively, with individuals who are seen
more frequently over a longer period of time.
How can it
help?
During the time you spend in a therapy session, you
experience your self in a very unique way. It is very
different from speaking with a friend or family member.
Without the concern of upsetting others or the barriers of
other relationship dynamics, you are free to be more
expressive about what you are feeling and thinking.
Psychotherapy is a very private and confidential
conversation. It is a time and space purely for your inner
thoughts that you rarely share on a day to day basis.
The goal of therapy is individual for everyone, although
generally it is a place where you can 'hear' your inner
world with new ears and new understanding. You can then
workshop and unravel your inner world and develop a deeper
understanding of your inner self and the relationship with
yourself and others and the world that you perceive and
create. This can therefore give you the awareness and
ability to create positive change.
