Do I need a Psychologist or a Counsellor?
This is a question I am often asked. The short answer is, it depends. But first, it would be helpful to summarize the similarities and the differences between the two.
Counsellors / Therapists:
Psychologists:
So if you are seeking an assessment for a mental health diagnosis, it would make sense to see a psychologist. But if you are requiring psychotherapy services, both counsellors and psychologists are qualified.
