Counselling Framework
The Social Determinants of Health and a Trauma Informed Care Framework

 

Our team are counsellors.

​

While counsellors and psychologists work may overlap the main differences are:

• Counsellors work from a more person-centred approach and may use a variety of therapeutic models and techniques to help clients through empowerment to find their own solutions and recovery from trauma.

• Psychologists are usually aligned to the Medical Model and use more prescriptive treatments like CBT and behavioural testing to inform strategies to overcome behavioural issues and symptoms.

• Psychologists are able to diagnose, while counsellors are not.
