The differences at a glance
psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is useful when psychological problems such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or persistent stress are the primary concern. The goal is to treat mental illnesses—and it is usually covered by health insurance.
Coaching
Coaching is more solution-oriented and is aimed at people without mental illness who want to develop further or overcome a challenge – for example in their job, in dealing with others or with themselves.
Psychological counseling
The psychological counseling lies between coaching and therapy. It is low-threshold, without long waiting times and helps you, first to classifywhat you need.
Especially at Boost4u, psychological counseling is aimed at helping you fast, uncomplicated and professional to support you – no matter whether you are stressed, overwhelmed or simply unsure what to do next.
Why psychological counseling is a good first step
Many people don't know whether their stress is "big enough" for therapy or whether coaching is sufficient. This is precisely where psychological counseling comes in:
You will be given space to describe your situation, will be taken seriously – and together you will look what you need right now.
Sometimes a few conversations are enough to gain new clarity. And if it becomes apparent that therapy would be beneficial, counseling can help you take the appropriate next step.
