Counselling and psychotherapy are both types of talking therapies, but they often work at slightly different depths. Counselling tends to focus on your present-day experiences for example, what you’re dealing with now, how it feels, and what you need in the short term. Psychotherapy usually goes further, exploring the patterns, early relationships, and unconscious dynamics that sit underneath what you’re struggling with today. In practice, there’s a lot of overlap. I draw from both, depending on what you’re looking for and what feels most supportive for you. We can stay with the here-and-now, work at a deeper pace, or move between the two.
