What is Psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy offers a confidential space to explore what’s happening in your life, to make sense of your experiences, and to develop a deeper understanding of yourself.

Why do psychotherapy?

People come to psychotherapy for many reasons. Some are struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, or loss. Others have a general sense of feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of themselves. You don’t need to have an ‘issue’ to begin talk therapy and to experience its benefits.

How psychotherapy works:

Psychotherapy offers a space to talk with a trained psychotherapist in a confidential setting. Together, you and your therapist will explore what feels important, painful, or unclear, whether that relates to the present, the past, or the future; concerns linked to recurring patterns in your life or a memorable event or relationship can also be useful ideas to consider.

There is no expectation to know what to say or where to start.

What psychotherapy can help with:

Psychotherapy can support people experiencing:

• anxiety, fear, and/or stress

• low mood or depression

• burnout (professional, emotional or otherwise)

• complexities around parenting children of all ages

• relationship difficulties, divorce/separation

• low self-esteem and self-criticism

• grief and loss

• the impact of past experiences

• a sense of feeling stuck or overwhelmed

• life changes and identity questions

• existential worry or fear

Some people arrive with a clear focus. Others simply know something doesn’t feel right. Both are welcome.
