Counselling psychology
Definition:
Counselling is face to face communication by which you help the person to make
decisions or solve a problem and act on them. Counselling psychologist deal with normal
problem such as stress.
Example: A counselling psychologist help clients may have difficulty making decisions about
their careers or they may find it hard to make friends.
Clinical psychology is more effective for treating the psychological disorder as compared to
counselling psychology because counselling psychologist deals with minor problems. They are
normal people who are experiencing daily life issues like in marriage, career choice, studies,
work, and relation etc. Clinical psychologist deal with those patient who have clinical disorder.
For example:
If you have schizophrenia patient, schizophrenia is a real mental illness and its
symptoms include hallucinations and delusions. Patient hear voices perceived to be coming from
the outside. As a clinical psychologist you will work to get this patient cures and you will also
diagnose him with the help of therapy or test and create a treatment plan. Counselling
psychologist can’t deal with schizophrenia patient or also other patients. So that’s why clinical
psychology is more effective for treating the psychological disorder then counselling
psychology.
