What is psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy and psychotherapeutic counselling are talking therapies used to treat emotional problems and mental health issues.

How can psychotherapy benefit me?

A trained psychotherapist can offer an environment in which you can:

• express your feelings
• gain a deeper insight into the issues you face.

Psychotherapy sessions are confidential. This means that you can talk about things you might not feel be able to discuss with anyone else.

The therapist will aim to help you find better ways to cope, or bring about changes in the way you think and behave to improve your mental and emotional wellbeing.

Psychotherapy sessions can be

• one-to-one
• include a partner or family members
• in a group.

Some therapists specialise in providing psychotherapy for adolescents and children.
