What is psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is the practice of alleviating psychological distress through talking. I work with my clients to try to understand their experiences. I help bring a sense of meaning and possible change to their world. The impetus for change needs to come from my client and involves progress through a series of stages
Why psychotherapy?
Sometimes emotional health needs professional attention and one of the goals of psychotherapy is to bring what's unconscious into consciousness thereby:
- relieving symptoms
- resolving problems
- coping better
- modifying familiar patterns of thoughts or behaviours
