Psychotherapy is a way of tackling problems which you may have been encountering recently or which you may have been struggling with for many years.


Therapy aims to create deep and lasting change through talking. It offers an opportunity, whatever your stage of life, to reflect on yourself, your current situation, your childhood and your family experiences. Often these early experiences will have influenced your adult life in many ways. They may, for example, lie behind all kinds of symptoms such as depression, anxiety or low self-esteem. They may also lie behind repeating negative patterns of behaviour or repeating difficulties in relationships with others.


Exploring the often hidden links between the past and the present is one of the tasks of psychotherapy. Change, understanding and growth come about in discussion and in a trusting relationship with the therapy group or the therapist.
