Psychotherapy
What is Psychotherapy?
The aim of psychotherapy is to provide a setting
for you to take stock of yourself and your situation in life. Often people come
to psychotherapy because of they want to feel better – psychotherapy can help
the way you feel, and it can also help you become more like the person you
would like to be. Common issues include:
What sort of psychotherapy
is best for me?
The two schools of psychotherapy that I find most
useful are existential psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural psychotherapy (CBT). Existential Psychotherapy provides for a
more open-ended taking stock of oneself. Cognitive-Behavioural Psychotherapy
focuses sharply on helping deal with emotional difficulties such as anxiety,
depression and low self-esteem. My own
work draws on both schools – I aim to combine the sort of open, reflective
environment that is the strength of existential psychotherapy with the methods
and techniques that make CBT one of the most effective psychotherapies.

our thoughts. By becoming aware of your thoughts, and substituting realistic
thoughts for unrealistic ones, you can overcome emotional difficulties such as
depression, anxiety as well as low self-esteem and relationship issues.
