Counselling

Counselling approaches are typically 'non-directive' and focus more on reflective and empathic interventions. The most common types of psychotherapies in counselling are 'person' or 'client-centred' counselling approches based on the work of Dr.Carl Rogers, and 'brief psychodynamic counselling', derived from psychoanalysis.. 

Counsellors view the counselling-relationship itself as the forum for change, with the client given the space to naturally find their own way.

The terms 'counselling'  and 'psychotherapy' are often used interchangeably when referring to the practice of the above models. Some therapists will call themselves 'counsellors' others prefer the term 'psychotherapist'.

Recomended For: individuals who seek a supportive and non-judgemental forum to help them clarify and air their feelings and thoughts, and who are not looking for specific guidance.
