What is the difference between a Counsellor, a Psychotherapist, a Psychologist and a Psychiatrist?

One of the main differences is the type of language that they use.

A counsellor will say “Let’s explore some strategies that might help you cope with this situation”

A psychotherapist will say “Lets explore the deeper meaning behind these thoughts and behaviours”

A psychologist will say “I’d like to use this assessment to better understand your symptoms”

A psychiatrist will say “These symptoms could be related to a chemical imbalance. Let’s explore treatment options”.

You can decide which fit is best for you, at this time of your healing journey
