When to Go to a Counsellor or Psychotherapist

When go to a counselor or psychotherapist

Every one has a period in their life when they either go through a difficult period or when they need some advice. Most of the time you can solve this on your own or with the help of a family member or a friend. However there are times when it is better to turn to a stranger who is specialised in dealing with specific situations. The reason for this is that a friend or family member, although he or she does their best to help you might be afraid to hurt your feelings and will thread carefully. As for a counsellor or psychotherapist will also do her best, but after building a relationship with the client she or he will challenge the person in order waken the hidden coping skills and tools within the client. Therefore the relationship between the client and the counsellor or psychotherapist is purely professional. A professional will never do anything to harm the client, he or she will not take a certain step with the client before the client is ready.

What is the difference between a counselor, psychotherapist or psychiatrist

• A counsellor is someone who has done a short study in counselling skills for about two years.
• A psychotherapist is some one who studied for a longer period and is usually specialised or is studying to specialise in a certain area, like addiction for example. The study for a psychotherapist takes between three to four years plus the specialisation.
