Cognitive (CBT) therapy is based on the assumption that human beings are born with a potential for both rational, or straight thinking and irrational, or crooked thinking. CBT attempts to change the way in which a person thinks about life experiences, and it concentrates on finding ways to change negative or irrational thought patterns into more constructive ones.
Gestalt therapy focuses more on process (what is happening) than content (what is being discussed). The emphasis is on what is being done, thought and felt at the moment rather than on what was, might be, could be, or should be. Gestalt therapy is a phenomenological-existential therapy founded by Frederick (Fritz) and Laura Perls in the 1940s.

This type of counselling views most adult emotional distress as the result of inner and unresolved past conflicts. A psychodynamic counsellor uses several techniques to bring repressed or forgotten experiences to the mind, helping the client to resolve them and to change patterns of behaviour. In short, by understanding the past, one can walk confidently into the future.
Simply stated, counselling is any relationship in which one person is helping another person to explore and better understand problems. Friends, relatives, teachers and advisors may provide different types of support whereas a counsellors is completely impartial and is experienced/skilled in developing "helping relationships" and working with many difficult problems people face.
