Psychotherapy is the practice of helping individuals address emotional, behavioral, and mental health challenges through structured conversations and therapeutic techniques. It aims to promote self-understanding, coping skills, and personal growth in the face of stress, trauma, or life difficulties. Psychotherapy often involves active listening, reflection, and evidence-based interventions tailored to the individual’s needs.

Spiritual care is the practice of supporting a person’s inner life, values, and sense of meaning, especially during times of illness, grief, or personal struggle. It helps individuals find comfort, hope, and a sense of purpose in challenging circumstances. Spiritual care often involves listening, presence, and encouragement, addressing emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs. In a specifically Christian or Orthodox context, spiritual care can be provided through prayer, Scripture reading, pastoral guidance, and participation in the life of the Church.
