What is Counselling and Psychotherapy?

There are many reasons to seek a psychotherapist or counsellor - to overcome an immediate problem, shed light on longer-term issues, seek answers or to find something more in life.

Counselling and Psychotherapy can help people to explore areas of difficulty, distress, dissatisfaction and uncertainty in their life, which may be preventing them growing and developing.

For example, it can help people to manage their relationships better, to discover inner strengths, to heal old wounds and achieve a greater sense of balance in life.

What kinds of problems?

- It does not matter how "big" or "small" a problem is

- People do not have to wait until they are in crisis to
benefit from seeing a therapist

- It can be a way to pause and take stock

- It can be a way towards greater self-knowledge and
self-reflection, leading to growth and health

Whatever the issue, Counselling and Psychotherapy can be an effective means of addressing life's ups and downs in a confidential way.
