Counselling and psychotherapy are professions that are multi-disciplinary and span many fields of study. Psychology and psychiatry are fields that have developed from science and the western medical model over the last 150 years. Counsellors/psychotherapists usually view human problems as a normal part of the human experience and support individuals to navigate life experiences. Whereas the medical model tends to see people in terms of health or disease and favours a system of diagnosis to treat mental and emotional difficulties.
