Psychotherapy Service

Psychotherapy offers a confidential opportunity to talk about whatever is on your mind with an experienced, non-judgmental listener who is well trained in recognising emotional patterns and maladaptive relationships. Finding explanations in terms that are relevant and useful to the individual, therapy becomes a reflective conversation and sharing of feelings, ideas, and insights. In the calm, accepting atmosphere of the consulting room, people learn to express more of their feelings and often feel less afraid of, or tyrannised by, them. Psychotherapy often enables you to make changes so as to undertake new careers, make new relationships or deepen existing ones, and generally feel more at peace with yourself.

Psychotherapy Issues

Some of the problems people bring to therapy include certain forms of depression, sexual and relationship problems, anger management, feelings of emptiness, unresolved bereavement, effects of trauma, etc.

Sessions & Confidentiality

Usually, psychotherapy involves one-to-one fifty-minute sessions. Occasionally, either you or the psychotherapist may suggest confidentially contacting medical practitioners or other professionals to ensure an overall and appropriate treatment plan. However, in most cases, no one will be contacted as confidentiality of what is disclosed in therapy sessions is essential.
