Το λένε συμβουλευτική, αν και είναι ατυχέστατη η απόδοση γιατί δεν έχει σχέση με συμβουλές. Ουσιαστικά, είναι "βραχυπρόθεσμη ψυχοθεραπεία", αν μπορείς να το πεις έτσι.
Αλλά η απόδοση του counselling ως "συμβουλευτική" είναι ασφαλής δρόμος, γιατί το λέει πολύς κόσμος.
Πάντως, πολύ θα ήθελα κάποια στιγμή να το "συζητήσουμε".

"Psychotherapy tends to deal more with individuals who wish to get to the source of their clinical depression, anxiety or personality disorder. This distinction is not hard and fast however,
as in both common and professional usage counseling and psychotherapy are interchangeable, whilst coaching is perceived as different and limited to either executive or sports coaching, yet includes therapeutic coaching in its realm. This leads to confusion for both customers and practitioners in a complex service industry that now includes marriage mentoring, for example. The differences are usually to do with the type of training, accreditation and special interests of each type of coach, counselor or psychotherapist."
