Counselling and Psychotherapy
Counselling is generally considered for short term therapy ranging from a few sessions to perhaps 30 sessions. Psychotherapy explores issues in greater depth than counselling and therefore may require longer term work, generally between one to three years. A mutual decision of whether counselling or psychotherapy would be more beneficial for you can be determined during the initial assessment.
Counselling and psychotherapy provide an opportunity to sit with someone who will be fully present for you. A chance to be heard, understood, accepted and valued. A time to share your intimate thoughts and feelings without being judged or criticised. The therapeutic experience can provide a space for the exploration of emotions, attitudes and behaviours at your own pace in a safe, confidential and trusting environment.
