About counselling and psychotherapy
Counselling looks at short-term specific issues, while psychotherapy focuses on long term patterns of thinking and behaviour which can lie behind everyday problems.
What Conditions Can it Help?Counselling can support periods of crisis or difficulty, making decisions and choices; dealing with trauma, shock; bereavement; relationship issues etc.
It aids understanding, and addresses ongoing issues, for example: family problems, anxiety or depression; as well as addictions, habits, low self-confidence, and managing emotions and behaviours.
Counselling supports making positive changes, achieving goals, increasing fulfilment and improving personal relationships.
What Benefits can be Expected?Through being listened to, and responded to in a supportive way, greater awareness can be developed, on how we live our lives in order to make effective changes.
Counselling and psychotherapy offers a secure and professional relationship through which we feel safe enough to explore and challenge feelings and thoughts, and overcome difficulties.
