Counselling is generally a term used for a process that is specific and related to something currently going on in life. Psychotherapy has more depth and relates more to the journey of life.
Both counselling and psychotherapy provide time out from normal daily life to remember what is important to you. An opportunity to look closely at your well-known personality structures and story lines. The process can help you get to know yourself better. You can then begin to see and resolve your inner conflicts. The value is in reconnecting with your own wisdom and creative resources.
Counselling and psychotherapy help the healing of old wounds and with the ongoing challenges of the maturing process. The possibility is to become more accepting of your strengths and limitations. You can expand your choices for responding to the inevitable difficulties in life. You improve your relationships with those you are closest to, your immediate community and society at large.
