Frequently Asked Questions

Q – What is the difference between Counselling and Psychotherapy?
A – Counselling is generally short-term, focused on solving a particular problem or providing support during a difficult time (e.g., "I want help managing my anxiety").
Psychotherapy is typically more long-term, involving deeper work to change aspects of our coping mechanisms, personality, self-beliefs, or ways of being in the world (e.g., "I want to understand why my relationships start off well but later make me feel trapped").

Q – Who goes to Counselling / Psychotherapy?
