Psychotherapy and Counselling

Psychotherapy and counselling both involve talking to a trained professional to address emotional and psychological issues. However, psychotherapy typically delves deeper into exploring past experiences and emotions, while counselling often focuses on providing guidance and support for specific issues.
The choice between psychotherapy and counselling depends on the nature and severity of your concerns. If you're dealing with long-standing issues, trauma, or complex emotions, psychotherapy may be more suitable. Counselling is often chosen for specific, immediate challenges or stressors.
