What is Psychotherapy and Counselling?
It is a conversation between therapist and client aimed at helping them to understand and then resolve their problem.
We are all individuals who have a different set of experiences and situations to encounter throughout our lives. Our reactions to these experiences are also unique.
Psychotherapy seeks to treat the whole person. It can help you explore present circumstances that you are finding difficult, experiences from the past that you find hard to come to terms with, or events in the future you may be worried about. It helps to validate how you are feeling, how your behaviour may be affected and also how your body and mind may be responding. Psychotherapy can help you make sense of the emotions that are controlling you, and the experiences that trigger them. It will strengthen your ability to cope.
Who is it for?
People seek help from psychotherapists for a number of reasons including, depression, anxiety, self-esteem or confidence building, bereavement or loss, panic attacks, phobias and other forms of mental illness.
Experiencing some form of mental distress or unhappiness at sometime in our lives is common for people in all walks of life. Research studies indicate that in Britain, twelve million adults every year attending GP surgeries have symptoms of this nature. Hundreds of thousands of working days are lost annually because of 'stress'.
