What a difference ?
Psychologist, psychotherapist and psychopractitioner?
The differences between a psychotherapist, a psychologist and a psychopractitioner lie mainly in their training and therapeutic approaches. A psychotherapist is a mental health professional who has completed specific training in psychotherapy. He or she may be a psychiatrist, psychologist or social worker, and is licensed to practice therapies to treat mental disorders. A psychologist is a professional who has earned a degree in psychology and can perform psychological assessments, tests, and provide counseling based on a scientific approach to psychology. Some psychologists may also be trained in psychotherapy.
What is a psychopractitioner?
A psychopractitioner is a practitioner who uses different therapeutic methods to support people in psychological suffering. Unlike psychotherapists and psychologists, he does not necessarily have a university degree in psychology. Psychopractitioners often train in specific approaches such as Gestalt therapy, sophrology, art therapy, lithotherapy, etc. Unlike psychotherapists and psychologists who may focus on a specific approach, psychopractitioners are often trained in several complementary therapeutic methods.
