Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy (sometimes called talk therapy) refers to a variety of treatments that aim to help a person identify and change troubling emotions, thoughts, and behaviours. Psychotherapy appointments take place when a pre-accredited or accredited psychotherapist and a client meet one-on-one for usually a one hour appointment. Appointments can. take place in person or online. or with other patients in a group setting. Psychotherapy provides an effective treatment for people with psychological and psychosomatic disorders. Persons who experience feelings of emptiness or meaninglessness in their lives or who are seeking a greater sense of fulfillment may be helped by psychotherapy.
People may seek help for specific reasons such as early childhood trauma, eating disorders, obsessional behavior or phobic anxieties. At other times help is sought because of more general underlying feelings of depression or anxieties, difficulties in concentrating, dissatisfaction in work or inability to form satisfactory relationships. However, the value of psychotherapy is not limited to those with mental health problems.
The relationship between psychotherapist and client is a crucial element in the process of psychotherapy. The psychotherapist offers a competential and private setting in which difficult experiences may be explored and worked through.
On contacting our service, a therapist will discuss with you over the phone the details of your session and the type of support you are looking for in order to ensure the service is suitable for your specific needs.
