Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy recognises the lasting impact of trauma. This is when stressful events that you experience or witness make you feel unsafe, helpless or vulnerable. You’ll work with a therapist to think about what has happened to you, not what is wrong with you. The focus is on compassion listening and understanding rather than making a diagnosis.
Psychotherapy can be a powerful, life-changing experience which can help you to improve your mental health, overcome social or emotional challenges, and fulfil your potential.
Goals of Psychotherapy
1. Express your feelings and process them in a safe and supportive relationship
2. Gain deeper insight into the issues you face
3. Talk about things in a confidential environment that you might not feel be able to discuss with anyone else
4. Find better ways to cope with feelings and fears
5. Change the way you think and behave to improve your mental and emotional wellbeing
6. Improve relationships in your life, including with yourself
7. Make sense of any clinical diagnoses you have had by understanding what has happened to you
8. Heal from trauma
9. Learn to communicate better and tolerate differences in yourself and others.
