Which service is right for me?
Counselling tends to be shorter term and focuses more on one specific issue. I would typically look at how that issue is presenting and what can be worked on to make it easier to manage or resolve.
​
Psychotherapy tends to be longer term, with a deeper goal of looking at recurring patterns in your life and relationships up to this point with the goal of changing unhelpful behaviours that may be holding you back.
