The term "therapy" encompasses a myriad of different interventions aimed at helping people deal with mental health difficulties. Therapy is an active and directed process that aims to change problematic emotions, thinking and behaviour whereas counselling aims to provide a supportive environment in which a person can explore their issues and make the changes they see as necessary. Therapists often require more training than counsellors because the assessments interventions they use are more complex. Other terms for therapy are psychotherapy, psychological therapy or treatment. Other terms for therapist are psychotherapist, clinical psychologist, psychologist and clinician.
