This may be what you are trying to say, but I think the difference is
one of access. A contractor is usually hired for a specific project, and
works only on that project with the people directly involved with it. By
contrast, a consultant's work often spills over into general strategic
planning for the company, and involves interaction with the company's
executives.

"Yes, it's hard love, but it's love just the same,
Not the stuff of fantasy, but more than just a game,
And the only kind of miracle that's worthy of the name,
For the love that heals our lives is mostly hard love."
- Bob Franke, "Hard Love" (as sung by June Tabor)
