What is Psychotherapy and Counselling

Psychotherapy allows clients to understand the origins of those unhealthy patterns that have been acquired or adopted since childhood and currently have a negative impact on their lives as adults. When clients are aware of these patterns, they are able to challenge them, make fundamental changes and replace them with healthy patterns, behaviours and emotions which leads to a more fulfilling life. Counselling enables clients to increase their personal power to address issues that are currently affecting their life by gaining understanding of the current issues and developing skills to better manage those difficulties.

Who can benefit from psychotherapy and counselling?

Anyone can benefit from psychotherapy and counselling. People do not need to have a mental disorder in order to see a psychologist or a counsellor. Psychotherapy and counselling is for anyone who wants to have the assistance of a professional to help them improve their emotional wellbeing, their relationships, their quality of life or develop better skills to manage certain situations that are inherent to life transitions. Psychotherapy and counselling is also for those individuals experiencing mental health disorders. Having the opportunity to see a professional highly increases the possibilities of a better recovery, better management of the illness and better quality of life for the client.
