Psychotherapy, Counselling, and Coaching Differences

“Psychotherapy, counselling, and coaching — what’s the difference? Psychotherapy goes

deeper, exploring past experiences and emotional patterns that keep you feeling stuck,

supporting deeper understanding and long-term healing. Trained psychotherapists can also offer counselling

and coaching. Counselling offers short-term support to feel heard and supported in what

you’re dealing with right now. Trained counsellors can offer coaching, but not psychotherapy.

Coaching focuses on the present and future, helping you build momentum,

set goals, and take practical steps forward. Coaches can’t offer counselling or psychotherapy

which is why working with a properly trained professional really matters.”
