What Psychotherapy And Counselling Can Support You With
People come to Psychotherapy and Counselling for many reasons, often when they feel they would like to change something, or their life is not fulfilling, and they are not sure which direction to go next. You do not need to be in crisis or have a mental health illness to have Psychotherapy or Counselling.
Some reasons people come to Psychotherapy include anxiety, feeling like you can’t cope, feeling lonely, after a big change in life, such as a loss of a job or bereavement, moving to a new place, dealing with stress at work, home or in relationships, or in any other aspects of life, lack of confidence, emptiness, mood swings, coping with the impact of abuse or other traumatic events, or long-term illness, panics, phobias or nightmares, lack of interests, creative blocks.
