What is Therapy?

Therapy takes many forms, but psychotherapy and counselling are both talking therapies.

You may be going through a bad time or experiencing difficulties that are stopping you from moving forward with your life. Perhaps you are trying to come to terms with a loss or trauma. Or perhaps you are feeling anxious, depressed or tearful. You might not know exactly what is wrong.

Talking to a therapist can help you work out what might be troubling you. A therapist will listen to you, without judgment, and will work with you to help you through your difficulties and try to find answers to your problems. Talking to a trained professional therapist can be easier and more helpful than talking to a friend or relative.

Therapy can help with a wide range of issues. Some of the problems that we can provide support for include:

  • Anxiety, depression or emotional strain

  • Feelings of low self-esteem

  • Trauma or loss

  • Cultural issues

  • Feelings of alienation

  • Addiction

  • Sexual abuse

  • Domestic violence

  • Relationship issues or family disputes

  • Sexual problems
