To be an effective talking therapist, it is essential that you learn the core counselling skills to listen and support a person without judgement or criticism. The aim is to help people gain a better understanding of their feelings and thought processes, to find their own solutions to problems.
Counselling often refers to short-term talk therapy, focussing on helping a person find solutions to current issues or challenges they are facing.
Psychotherapy is typically a more in-depth, long-term process that focuses on a person's feelings and past experiences and desire to achieve personal growth.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented type of talk therapy that helps patients change negative patterns of thinking or behaviour.
