The distinction between councelling and Psychotherapy is not a clear line, as in both common and professional usage counselling and psychotherapy are interchangeable. Counselling tends to be oriented in equal measure to the past, present and future as well as problem and solution focused, where as Psychotherapy tends to deal more with seriously disturbed individuals such as those with depression, anxiety or personality disorder. Counselling is any relationship in which one person is helping another person to better understand and solve some problem.  Counsellors can be anyone who wants to, friends, relatives, academic advisors, teachers, and many others. Counsellors have a broad range of experience in developing "helping relationships" and working with many different situations.
