Differences between therapists and counsellors
Therapists and counsellors both have the same goal of helping you to overcome the challenges you're facing, but they do have their differences.
A therapist will focus on long-term coping strategies that'll help you with your diagnosed conditions and challenges. They'll use psychotherapeutic techniques such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) to help you manage your condition in the future.
A counsellor will focus on the here and now, assessing you and your challenges on a day-to-day basis. They'll also use broader techniques, such as humanistic therapy, to get to the root of your problems.

These students have the opportunity to shadow our specialists, working alongside them and receiving full supervision at all times.
We're proud to be able to contribute to the training of young doctors and assist in the professional development of the mental health experts of the future.
