What is counselling and psychotherapy?

Counselling/psychotherapy provides a secure, confidential, non-judgemental space in which a person may discuss any issues relating to his/her life which have caused (or continue to cause) distress or pain. It can be a relief to have somebody who is not involved in a situation to listen and reflect back on it, thereby enabling a greater understanding of the situation.

Counselling/psychotherapy is about helping a person to deal with depression, stress and unhappiness. Beneficial changes can be made.

As the relationship develops between the client and the counsellor/psychotherapist, trust, respect and understanding grow.Belief and confidence in one's self and others can follow. The safe environment of counselling facilitates the examination of repeated patterns of behaviour which affect relationships. Positive options for dealing with these can then be developed.
