Which one should you choose when deciding between counsellor vs therapist? Counselling is an umbrella term that covers both licensed clinicians with advanced degrees and those offering other forms of counselling. A therapist may also have advanced degrees but it is a term that covers a wider variety of therapy beyond counselling and includes physical forms of therapy as well. Therapists will also focus more on behaviour reform than other forms of counselling though a counsellor may also practice therapy.
