Consultation

Consultation is the process of discussing something with someone in order to get their advice or opinion about it. Psychotherapy does not involve consultation. The psychologist is not allowed to advise or give their opinion on your personal issues and your life decisions. Instead they are expected to show you all the alternative routes and allow you to decide the one that suits you best.

In order for the psychologist to provide consultation, you have to deliberately ask for it keeping in mind that you have the free will to decide whether the provided advice is proper for you.
