Counselling is usually short-term and focuses on helping you handle specific problems or life situations—like stress at work, relationship issues, or making a tough decision. It’s like having a supportive chat to find practical ways forward.

Therapy (or psychotherapy) often goes deeper and is usually longer-term. It helps you explore your feelings, past experiences, and patterns that keep causing pain or distress—like anxiety, depression, or trauma. It’s about understanding yourself more deeply and creating lasting change.

Both are about support, healing, and growth—just at different depths and for different needs.
