Counselling and Psychotherapy

The words Counselling and Psychotherapy are often used interchangably and some get confused as to the difference between the two. There are overlaps but generally Counselling is often seen as being a focused shorter time limited process whereas Psychotherapy may be used for longer term work requiring attention to deeper issues.

There are many reasons why people may seek the help of a therapist. You may be considering psychotherapy or counselling because of :

• Feelings aroused by the end of a significant relationship
• Your pain and sadness following a bereavement or loss
• Feelings of anxiety or depression, perhaps in connection with something that has recently happened in your life which may be work related, within your family or life in general
• Feelings of anger, bewilderment or hurt related to emotional, physical or sexual abuse
• There may be problems in forming a sustainable relationship
• You may experience anxiety, nightmares or depression associated with a traumatic incident (i.e. post traumatic stress)
• Experiencing low self esteem , shame and lack of confidence which can be attributed to experiences such as being bullied or humiliated
