Counselling is a type of talking therapy that allows a person to talk about their problems and feelings in a confidential and dependable environment. A counsellor is trained to listen with empathy (by putting themselves in your shoes). They can help you deal with any negative thoughts and feelings that you have.
Sometimes, the term ‘counselling’ is used to refer to talking therapies in general, but counselling is also a specific type of therapy in its own right. Other psychological therapies include psychotherapy and relationship therapy (which could be between members of a family, a couple or work colleagues). Whether it is Counselling or another type of talking therapy which is provided will be down to the individual therapist and the client’s needs. |
