What is Psychotherapy and Counselling?

We offer both counselling and psychotherapy. There are many definitions of psychotherapy and counselling. Counselling and Psychotherapy are similar and both are known as “talking therapy”

Generally speaking short-term counselling normally focusses on specific issues such as anger management, relationship problems, phobias or stress. Psychotherapy tends to be longer term normally suitable for issues such as anxiety, self-harming, depression, personal growth and awareness.

Both aim to remove distress from your life

The models of therapy we use are Transactional Analysis (TA) and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

Transactional Analysis

TA is an incredibly powerful therapeutic approach which is widely used by psychotherapists and counsellors, and is also used effectively for organisational development and in educational settings. The cornerstone of TA practice is deep respect and empathy.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

NLP is a model and a set of techniques that allow you to achieve specific and desired outcomes. It been has been described as the technology of the mind, the science of achievement, and the study of success. It works very well along side TA
