What is psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy helps people gain a better understanding of themselves and their thoughts, feelings and actions. Understanding the patterns that have dominated you, often without you realising it, can bring the possibility of choice and of change. In a secure environment with the psychotherapist you can seek to discover what makes you what you are and what is on your mind.

People come to psychotherapy for all sorts of reasons. Some examples might be:

• Broken or difficult relationships
• Loss and bereavement
• A sense of purposelessness
• Depression
• Blocked creativity
