What is it?
“A psychological treatment for a mental disorder, behavioral issues, or any other problem causing psychological suffering or distress. Its purpose is to foster significant changes in the client’s cognitive, emotional, or behavioral functioning, interpersonal system, personality, or state of health. This treatment goes beyond general support or counseling.”
Why seek it?
It can be helpful for those experiencing difficult times such as depression, anxiety, or trauma. The goal is to better understand thoughts and emotions and find ways to improve overall well-being.
What techniques are used?
Techniques may include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and other clinical approaches. Sessions are typically structured and include assessments and interventions suited to the individual’s needs.
How long does it last?
Psychotherapy duration varies and may last from several months to several years, depending on the complexity of the issues.
What is it?
Psychosocial support is a guidance approach that assists individuals during life challenges or emotional crises. Unlike psychotherapy, it focuses more on listening and practical support.
Why seek it?
This form of support is well suited for those facing everyday issues like family conflicts, relationship problems, transitions, or difficult emotions such as stress, anxiety, or sadness. It offers quick and accessible aid without requiring a mental health diagnosis.
What techniques are used?
A trained and qualified professional creates a trusted environment through active listening, emotional validation, and various intervention types. They help express concerns, explore solutions, and develop strategies to manage daily challenges.
How long does it last?
Session length and frequency vary. Some are one-time meetings for immediate situations, while others span several sessions, depending on individual needs.
Psychotherapy and psychosocial support are complementary approaches serving different needs. The former is a therapeutic intervention offered by a licensed professional, such as a psychologist or psychotherapist. The latter focuses on immediate support for life challenges and is provided by professionals in social work, criminology, sexology, psychoeducation, and more. Both can be beneficial depending on individual circumstances and needs.
