What is the difference between a Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Psychologist?The terms counsellor, psychotherapist, and psychologist often overlap but refer to different roles and training in mental health care. Here’s a breakdown of the differences: Counsellors typically provide short-term support to address specific issues, such as stress, relationships, grief, or life transitions. They focus on helping clients find practical solutions and cope with challenges. Psychotherapy tends to be longer-term and delves deeper into underlying emotional and psychological patterns. It aims to explore past experiences, unresolved trauma, and the unconscious mind. Psychotherapy is relational and process-driven, working collaboratively to address deep-seated issues and foster self-awareness and change. Psychologists specialise in understanding human behavior and mental processes. Clinical psychologists diagnose and treat mental health disorders, while other psychologists may focus on research, education and are usually trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
