PERSONAL THERAPY

There are many reasons people chose to see a counsellor or therapist. Sometimes it’s because they feel they don’t want to burden friends or family by talking to them about their problems. Alternatively, it may be the person is undecided about a particular course of action, such as ending a relationship and want to explore the issue fully with an impartial, listener without the risk of being judged or criticized.  

Counselling and Psychotherapy – what is the difference?  While there is no clear distinction between counselling and psychotherapy,  often a brief period of counselling is sufficient to resolve a specific issue, such as a sexual, family, or work-based problem.  While for complex or long-standing problems psychotherapy’s more in-depth approach may be the most suitable.

However, both counselling and psychotherapy can help clients identify the reasons for their difficulties, develop problem-solving skills and establish more rewarding ways of relating to other people, in both their personal and their professional lives.  Which is right for you and your situation we will discuss at an initial, no-commitment session. For clients in a committed  relationship there is also the option of couples counselling. We can also discuss whether either Hypnotherapyor EMDR might be the most suitable approach, or as an addition to counselling or psychotherapy.
