counselling, clinical psychology, or psychotherapy?

hmm but I don't believe in homeopathy by strict definition. .. natural remedies sure but not homeopathy. plus I believe that view to be less true now than perhaps 10 years ago, at least if you seek help from paid services. Though with little evidence. I was heading for counselling as a private practitioner, potentially online as well as face to face.

That's the point though I'm looking for actual evidence and reasoning. I know all the subjective opinion stuff...

Well my only personal experience is close relative who is a Psychiatrist. From what I understand, second hand, is that the business of mental health is fading. Online seems more of a secure business aspect but how do you really counsel online? Generally speaking, the idea behind therapy or counseling or any of those practices work best face to face. I know my relative wont even do phone sessions unless isn't absolutely necessary. I think something all natural or methodically based like meditation practices or yoga incorporated into a mental health facet helps ppl feel like there is a tangible process to this otherwise "fantastic" mental health process. It sounds like you have a good basis of what you want to do and I think that's a strong step in the right direction. All the power to you!

personally I never could be anything more than counselor because would never bring my self to perscribe anything as I have seen first hand what wrong medication can do to a person. My ex wife was put on medication after medication when a teen now she can not see the truth and imagines things all time and convinced they real. she can get violent too now and doesnt remember it after

I feel much the same. In some cases it can help as a treat switch short term but. .. wary. Thanks for your first hand experience :) but clinical psychologists don't really prescribe as far as I know. That's psychiatrists?
