Why Choose Counselling?
Counselling is not usually covered under most insurance providers but when you consider its lower out of pocket costs compared to how much you end up paying a therapist after your coverage runs out then you will likely end up saving money.
Counselling is more directive and fits well within a coaching practice. However, counselling and coaching are different in that the former is more respective of what the client wants to choose and the latter is more about how the coach is leading and instructing the client.
Counsel is something like advice but not always. A good counsellor can get the client to generate their own thought processes around issues they are facing.
What is the difference between Counselling and Psychotherapy?
Most people could use both a therapist for psyche work and supplement the therapy with the less expensive counsellor or coach for the practical work.
If you want to save money on treatment you may consider balancing your sessions between a psychotherapist and a counsellor and/or group therapy. In some cases a counsellor only approach is all you need.
You can get to goals in a practical and quick way with a counsellor but if you want to go deep into your psyche you will need a psychotherapist as well.
