A psychological coaching or a psychotherapy
Psychological coaching tends to focus on more situational challenges, such as a crisis in a relationship or stress at work. Usually, a few sessions are enough to get valuable tips.
The coaching sessions are also conducted by trained psychologists, who can also refer you to a therapist if it seems more appropriate.
However, psychological coaching is not a substitute for psychotherapy. In case of strong, extensive stress, you should rather refer to a psychotherapy.
