consultant and counsellor ?

Hi rache,

"Consultant" and "counsellor" have very different meanings. "Consultant" is more about sharing specialized knowledge in a peer-to-peer manner. For example, I used to direct an agency for deaf and hard of hearing adults. For a while after I quit, I acted as a consultant by giving advice to others in my field (other directors) about how to make their agencies successful.

Meanwhile, counselling is usually more of a mental health issue, and is done between a professional and a client or patient of some kind -- not a peer. When I directed my agency, I also acted as a counsellor for my clients -- I helped them through difficult relationships, etc.

Does that help?

HI, Thanks a lot. Your answer is very clear. Now I feel better because I was thinking about my assignment for a few days. From your answer I think you are working in the health field. Do you? Are you a nurse?
I am studying for nurse, And I feel this field is not easy one. Also, today is the first time I am here.

Glad it helped.

I'm not a nurse, no. It's a noble profession, though, good for you for choosing it.

And welcome to A2K.
