There are many similarities with counselling and psychotherapy – both seek to create a helping relationship in which the client can find inner resources for dealing with their difficulties.  

Counselling is often used to describe short-term therapy, perhaps focusing on a particular issue.

Psychotherapy usually describes a longer in-depth process exploring and making sense of patterns from the past that are restricting the client’s way of being in the present. 

Many people experience difficulties at some stage of life and can benefit from counselling and psychotherapy. 

Therapy can be helpful for most people, in most situations. It can help people make better life choices and decisions. 

​It can be helpful for a wide range of difficulties including:
Bereavement and other losses (inc. divorce, separation, employment)
Low self-esteem
Depression
Anxiety
All forms of trauma
Abuse
Work related stress
Problems relating to health and disability
Mid-life transitions
Women's issues
Identity
Cultural issues
Problems relating to sex 
Sexual identity

Therapy is not just about resolving problems - it is valuable for anybody who wants to learn more about themselves and generally achieve a better sense of emotional and psychological wellbeing.

Increased self-awareness can significantly enhance confidence and self-esteem and help you make better life choices.
