Passenger: I m a counsellor. Taxi driver: A town councillor? Passenger: No. You ve heard of Relate, Marriage Guidance COUNSELLING ? Well like that but for all sorts of problems. This dialogue captures some of the difficulties COUNSELLING has in defining itself.

Google counsellor and the fourth and fifth entries are for travel counsellors who will sell you a holiday.
Counselling and psychotherapy are umbrella terms that cover a range of talking therapies. They are delivered by trained practitioners who work with people over a short or long term to help them bring about effective change or enhance their wellbeing. Therapy is time set aside by you and the therapist to look at what has brought you to therapy.
