It is a way for you to learn to help yourself.

Which is for you?
Counselling is usually of limited duration and may focus on specific problems.
Psychotherapy is usually a longer process of working through issues which prevent you from achieving what you want in life. In psychotherapy the goal is to understand and change unhelpful longstanding patterns of behaviour, feelings and thoughts to enable you to achieve a more balanced and fulfilled life.
