Psychological counselling addresses a relatively clear set of questions, for example:
- Career choice
- Career planning
- Educational or learning difficulties
- Professional or partnership conflicts
- separation/divorce
- Prevention (Professional Association of Psychologists of Liechtenstein 2020)
The duration of a psychological consultation is limited in time and lasts only a few sessions (one to ten sessions). It is not a service that is covered by health insurance (see Professional Association of Psychologists of Liechtenstein 2020).
In contrast to counselling, psychotherapy deals with the treatment of mental problems and illnesses. It can help to solve thinking, emotional, experiential and behavioral disorders. These include mental disorders such as:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Personality and trauma disorders
- Eating disorders
- Behavioral disorders in children and adolescents
- Addictions
- compulsions
- psychosomatic disorders, etc. (Professional Association of Psychologists of Liechtenstein 2020)
