Psychotherapy and Counselling
|
There are various definitions of psychotherapy and counselling, and various ways of differentiating between the two. My view is that counselling tends to be a shorter term process, usually focused on specific problem or issue whereas psychotherapy tends to be longer term, has a wider scope and has a deeper effect. In the website, reference to 'therapy' includes both.
Therapy effectively is a journey of change. Given the right commitment, energy and compatibility with your therapist, it can be life changing.

Therapy is focused on helping you to improve your well being, how you relate to others and helping you to live a more autonomous and satisfying life.
The process of therapy involves examining and changing unhelpful patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. Unfortunately there are no magic wands, and the same way it takes time to create problems, it takes time to resolve them. It also takes courage, determination and may be uncomfortable and even painful at times. You will need to be an active participant in your change process; things will not change unless you change them. It is my experience that therapy is very successful for a wide range of symptoms from difficulties coping with the day to day to more serious mental health issues.
