A support practitioner can listen and reflect, but cannot diagnose, treat, provide therapy, advise medication, or act as a clinical professional.

Therapy on Therefy is delivered by verified counselling psychologists. It is a structured counselling session. Vent-Out is delivered by trained support practitioners. It is emotional support — not therapy, not counselling, and not clinical care. The two services are different in purpose, provider, and what they can offer.
No. Venting gives you a space to express what you are feeling. Therapy goes further. A counselling psychologist helps you understand patterns, work through concerns, and build coping skills over time. Vent-Out on Therefy is a structured venting space with a trained support practitioner — not a substitute for therapy.
If you want to explore emotional patterns, work on a recurring concern, or have a structured conversation with a qualified professional, therapy is the right fit. If you want to talk through a stressful day, feel heard, or release what you have been holding in — and you do not need therapy — Vent-Out may suit you better.
Therapy services on Therefy are delivered by verified counselling psychologists. Vent-Out sessions are delivered by trained support practitioners. Support practitioners are not therapists, psychologists, or clinical professionals. They are trained in supportive listening, boundaries, confidentiality, and crisis routing.
