Psychotherapy is often misunderstood with counseling. But its not counseling as it focuses on the modification, reorientation of the client from within. Its approach is purely therapeutic in nature. It includes techniques to increase awareness; to enable other choices of thought; feelings and actions; to increase the sense of well-being and to better manage subjective discomfort or distress.

Psychotherapy works by total acceptance of the client and is based on the four pillars namely, confidentiality, maintaining boundaries, non-directive and non-judgmental. It is not a cut, copy, paste method. Each individual is unique in its own way and psychotherapy respects it. It is a process, where the therapist introduces certain psychological interventions in the relationship - making the relationship different from other relationships. These interventions are deliberately planned and are introduced after ascertaining the readiness of the client. The therapist uses his knowledge of psychological theories to structure interventions. These interventions bring about change in the cognition, emotion and action of the client. The therapist facilitates the process of change in the desired direction.
