WHAT IS COUNSELLING?
Counselling services are designed to support people who are experiencing challenging situations in their life, no matter what the situation may be. Like psychotherapy, counselling is a form of talk therapy and includes regular meetings with a counsellor. During your appointments, you will work with your counsellor in a supportive environment to get to the bottom of the issues you are currently having.
These services are usually offered as both in-person services and virtual services. Both options work in the same way and are entirely up to you and your preferences.

Deciding to seek out the help of a counsellor is an entirely personal decision, but there are some ways you may be able to tell that this kind of help could be beneficial to you.
If you feel that you're struggling to cope with day-to-day life, you are feeling overwhelmed, low, or stressed, or you just feel your mental well-being has taken a hit recently, it could be time to reach out to a counsellor in your area.
At PsyVitalitï, we offer free-to-use self-assessment tests for anxiety and depression so that you can understand yourself better and work out whether it would be beneficial for you to find resources to boost your mental health. Alternatively, you can reach out to a team member to discuss your treatment options and which would be best suited for your needs.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COUNSELLING AND THERAPY?
When it comes to therapy and counselling, the two terms are often used interchangeably.
When offered by a mental health professional specializing in CBT, both therapy and counselling can focus on one or more specific issues. These issues encompass the widest range of personal and interpersonal difficulties, such as relationship issues, substance abuse, a loss of a loved one, and any other need for support or mental health issue.
Both therapy and counselling services can also explore any of the underlying issues that may be resulting in the feelings or behaviours you have around a certain experience. Therapy and counselling services both tend to be shorter-term with PsyVitaliti, as they are both based on CBT.
At PsyVitalitï, we don’t want to make finding help stressful or confusing. If you are unsure about which service you need, you can reach out to our team directly for assistance. We will work with you to understand the struggles you are facing and we will match you with a mental health professional that is right for your needs.
