RPL make a very strong distinction between counselling and therapy despite a current climate that blurs the differences between them. There are political reasons for this blurring which will be discussed below. It is important that you are clear which style of work to expect from your counsellor or therapist before you commit to sessions with them. Counsellors have a very different training to therapists and this will reflect in the levels at which they can work with you. There are also a number of different job titles which require a political quick guide to steer you towards the right kind of help for you.
