Psychotherapy

What is Psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is an effective method of understanding and dealing with situations that are causing emotional distress. In a safe, non-judgemental and totally confidential environment, clients work closely with a Practitioner, using a combination of psychotherapy and counselling. Aims and goals are identified and a treatment plan is formulated.

How does it work?

Therapy may involve a particular method of treatment such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, or an Integrative Approach comprising several styles, tailored to suit individual needs. Hypnotherapy may complement treatment, if desired

The Treatment

Although it may be appropriate to discuss the past, it is not always necessary to explore in depth. Talk Therapy focuses on current issues and the feelings and meanings attached to them.

As therapy progresses, awareness and understanding enable the client to re-evaluate problems, adjust negative thinking and behaviour and feel positive about the future. Between 5-10 sessions of therapy are generally required, re-negotiable at any time

What can Psychotherapy help?

Studies have shown that people suffering from a range of issues can be helped with Talk Therapy. These include:

Depression
Anxiety
Low Self Esteem
Relationship Issues
Panic Attacks
Family concerns
Fears and Phobias
General or Workplace Stress

Sometimes recommended by GP’s to compliment traditional treatment, Psychotherapy can be accessed via self-referral as an alternative to medical intervention. Employers are encouraged to fund courses of therapy for their employees, in order to reduce long-term absenteeism and address workplace stress effectively.
