Counselling, Psychotherapy & Psychology

COUNSELLING

Counselling is a form of psychological or talking therapy that offers people a chance to change how they feel and to live better.

  • A counsellor should respect your viewpoint while helping you to deal with specific problems, cope with crises, improve your relationships, or develop better ways of living.

    Despite the name, counsellors don’t usually offer advice. Instead, they help you to gain insight into your feelings and behaviour and to change your behaviour, if necessary. They do this by listening to what you have to say and commenting on it from their particular professional perspective.

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Psychotherapy helps clients to find more appropriate ways of coping or bring about changes in their thinking and behaviour.

  • Psychotherapy involves exploring feelings, beliefs, thoughts and relevant events, sometimes from childhood and personal history, in a structured way with someone trained to help you do it safely.

    Sessions can be provided for adults, adolescents and children on a one-to-one basis, or for couples, families and within groups whose members share similar problems.

PSYCHOLOGY

Psychology is the scientific study of people, mind and behaviour. It explores how people think, how they act, and how they interact.

  • They use psychological methods and research to help bring about positive change in people’s lives and offer various forms of treatment.

    When offering psychological therapy, psychologists work on establishing a shared understanding of what you are facing, sometimes referred to as a ‘formulation’, and this provides the basis for choosing the right therapy for you. Psychological therapy involves exploring feelings, beliefs, thoughts and relevant events, sometimes from childhood and personal history, in a safe and often structured way. Depending on the nature of your difficulty, therapy can be short or long term. Sessions can be provided for adults, adolescents and children on a one-to-one basis, or for couples, families and within groups whose members share similar difficulties.
