When can counselling and psychotherapy be beneficial?...
Counselling and psychotherapy is a commitment. It is not possible to know how many sessions you will need to experience change, it varies for each individual.
Counselling is recommended when problems include depression, anxiety, issues in relationships, confusion of identity, struggles with a bereavement and the experience of loss, stress, addictions, and difficulties in life transitions (empty-nest/menopause).
Long-standing issues that resurface in repeated behavioural patterns, or significantly interfere with daily life are often best addressed with psychotherapy.
Psychotherapy is often longer-term (6 months +) and many of our practitioners work on this basis.
