What are the three types of counselling?
Counselling is a broad field, encompassing many different types of therapy. However, there are three main types of counselling that are widely recognized and used by therapists today.
The first type of counselling is psychodynamic counselling. This type of therapy is rooted in the idea that unconscious thoughts and past experiences can influence present behavior and emotions. Psychodynamic counselling aims to help patients identify and resolve these underlying issues, often through exploring childhood experiences, dreams, and other unconscious processes.
The second type of counselling is cognitive-behavioral counselling (CBT). CBT is a short-term, goal-oriented therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is often used to treat anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.
The third type of counselling is humanistic counselling. This type of therapy is based on the idea that individuals have the innate capacity for growth, self-awareness, and self-direction. Humanistic counselling emphasizes the importance of the therapist-patient relationship and seeks to empower patients to make positive changes in their lives.
