Counsellors & Therapists: frequently asked questions
What is the difference between counselling and therapy?
The terms overlap. Counselling often focuses on a specific difficulty over a shorter period, while psychotherapy tends to explore longer-standing patterns in more depth. Many practitioners offer both, so ask how they work.
How do I check a counsellor is properly qualified?
Counselling is not regulated by law in the UK, so anyone can use the title. Look for membership of a professional body whose register is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority, such as BACP, UKCP or NCPS, and ask about their training.
What should I ask before my first session?
Ask which approach they use (for example CBT, person-centred or psychodynamic), how long sessions last, how confidentiality works, their cancellation policy and whether they offer online sessions.
What if I need help urgently?
A counsellor is not an emergency service. If you are struggling to cope, call NHS 111 or contact your GP, or call Samaritans free on 116 123 at any time. In an emergency, call 999.
