I'm in the UK, and in my experience most people who call themselves councellors are actually trained and qualified psychotherapists, it's just that in the UK 'councellor' is a more common term used for 'psychotherapist' or 'therapist' which is generally used in the USA - just like the term Post mortem is used in the Uk while the US use the term Autopsy - it's the same thing.
I'm the UK people in private practise often term themselves therapists these days, just because the UK is starting to adopt that term - also people with specific training such as psychoanalytic or CBT tend to use the term therapist.
