What is Psychotherapy

There are many different types of Psychotherapy. They are all ways to help people to overcome problems such as:

• Stress
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Social & Emotional Problems
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorders
• Self-Esteem Issues

Pyschotherapy usually involves a course of regular meetings with the length of the treatment being agreed by the client and the therapist.

The sessions are strictly confidential with the aim of helping the client to work through their problems & issues to enable them to lead a more fulfilling life free from fear and worry.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT can help you to change how you think ("Cognitive") and what you do ("Behaviour"). These effective changes can help you to feel better.

CBT focuses on the 'here and now' of problems. It is a way of talking about yourself, the world and other people. How what you do affects your thoughts and feelings, how both of these processes can be changed to enable fear and insecurities to be resolved and dealt with successfully.

CBT helps to make overwhelming problems manageable by breaking them down into smaller parts, enabling you to see how things are connected and how they affect you.

Situations affect our thoughts and our feelings which in turn create other thoughts and feelings that can add to our anxiety. By looking at how we think, feel and behave we can stop this negative process and turn it into a positive experience of opportunity.
