PSYCHOTHERAPY
Psychotherapy is the study of different mental health problems, their management and prevention. Also called talking therapy, it teaches the client more about their condition, moods, feelings, behaviours, and actions. Psychotherapy enables the client to take control of their life and respond positively to difficult situations through the use of coping strategies. Each session assists the client to recognise the cause of their malaise so they can better function at a personal and professional level.
There are many types of psychotherapy, each with its own approach. The type of psychotherapy that’s right for you depends on your individual situation.
What is psychotherapy?
One of the most important parts of any therapy session is the therapeutic alliance. This is created between therapist and client using the therapist’s professional knowledge and training plus the client’s willingness to share their problems in a safe and confidential environment. It is the role of the therapist to create this safe space by being welcoming, organised and professional.
Anyone can call themselves a psychotherapist so check their qualification. The accepted minimum is a Masters Degree in Counselling. Psychotherapy can treat range of ailments. Physical illness is usually associated with emotional dis-easement which can affect the body, mind and soul.
