Talking therapy
Counselling and psychotherapy offer a private and confidential space in which to explore your thoughts and feelings. This may be helpful in overcoming specific difficulties or recurring patterns of behaviour (especially in relationships) which originate in earlier life experiences.
Talking therapy can lead to greater self-awareness and a deeper understanding of relationships, resulting in a fuller and more satisfying emotional life. Becoming more accepting of yourself and your emotions can help you regain a sense of control over your life particularly in times of difficulty.
Counselling or Psychotherapy
These terms are often used interchangeably or collectively labelled 'therapy'. Counselling tends to focus on the recent onset of specific problems or life events like bereavement, whereas psychotherapy addresses deeper and more complex issues which have built up over a longer period of time and may take longer to work through.
Certain counselling styles suit some people more than others, so I draw on a range of approaches to provide the right support for you.
Psychosexual Therapy
Psychosexual therapy or sex therapy, is a talking and behavioural therapy aimed at helping couples and individuals understand and resolve specific sexual difficulties and improve intimacy in their relationships and improve sexual intimacy in their relationships.
