Counselling Offices Christchurch Directions

Jerry Jordan, MBA, MEd — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 07:32:19 +0000

Our offices are a 20 – 27 minute drive from Cathedral Square in Christchurch. The drive is one that our staff take almost daily and we never tire of seeing Lyttlelton Harbour as we come over the Pass, or seeing Christchurch and the Southern Alps covered in snow, as we drive back towards the city.

The directions for the lovely drive from the centre of Christchurch over the Port Hills to our offices in stunning Governors Bay are:

1. From Cathedral Square, head down Colombo Street towards the Port Hills (approx 4.0 km).

2. At the roundabout at the end of Colombo Street, take the 2nd exit onto Dyers Pass Road.

3. Head over Dyers Pass (you will see the Sign of the Kiwi on your right as you go over the Summit).

4. Dyers Pass Rd becomes Main Rd in Governors Bay (do not turn left towards Lyttelton).

5. Just as you pass the Governors Bay Hotel, turn right at Glas Brae and our offices (3 Glas Brae) are on the left in the townhouse closest to the pub (44 m)

(According to Google Maps, the trip is about 13.5 km and takes 26 minutes.)

What is the difference between Psychotherapy and Counselling?

Jerry Jordan, MBA, MEd — Sun, 03 May 2009 03:59:41 +0000

The most direct answer to this question depends on where you live and on what side of this divide your therapist comes from. Some, if not most jurisdictions, have regulations regarding who can refer to themselves as “psychotherapists”, while use of the term “counsellor” (spelled “counselor” in the USA), in not as heavily regulated in most countries. There are exceptions to this, though, in places like the USA, where the term “Licensed Professional Counselor” (LPC) is regulated by most states.

So, what is the difference between psychotherapy and counselling? Counsellors generally involve themselves specifically with counselling, while psychotherapists often counsel, but can also be involved in research or practicing psychiatry (in the case of psychiatrists practicing psychotherapy). Psychotherapists are often required to have a minimum of a Bachelors degree in psychology, while the qualifications for counsellors can vary considerably.
