What is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is a way of helping people to overcome emotional, behavioural and relationship difficulties by talking, thinking and sharing feelings with a trained therapist. The aim is to change destructive patterns into constructive life-enhancing ones.

What happens within the session?
The first appointment is designed to gain an overview of your difficulties, how life is for you, how it was in the past and what you want from the sessions. You do not have to discuss anything you do not want. Anything discussed in the sessions is confidential. At the end of the fist session the best way forward will be discussed with the therapist. The therapist will take responsibility for working jointly with you to solve your issues and find a better way for you to go forward with your life.
