What is Psychotherapy
Therapy is a general term used to describe the interaction between a therapist and their client that aims to reduce the client’s psychological and emotional difficulties.
Individuals come to therapy when emotional difficulties or a situation become too overwhelming to deal with without additional support. The types of issues people bring include: relationship difficulties, life transitions (change in jobs/career, grief and loss), isolation, poor self-image and gender identity issues.
Counselling and psychotherapy have many common qualities, however there are key differences. Counselling is more likely to focus on a specific problem or a situation a person is struggling with. Psychotherapy is more concerned with the exploring an individual life patterns, their journey so far, with the aim to develop new insights and restructure their life or choices.
