Psychotherapy translates
directly as the healing of the mind. The literal
definition is Psycho (Gk) Relating to the mind or
psychology and Therapy (Gk) Healing i.e. healing of the
mind, emotions or spirit.
Psychotherapy is concerned
with the whole person, his or her life history, past and
present relationships, and conscious and unconscious
processes. Therapy is a process that allows each person
to come to a fuller understanding of their abilities,
difficulties, motivations or worries in conjunction with
the therapist. In therapy an individual can learn to
identify the causes of and solutions to problems of
anxiety, low self-esteem and difficulties experienced in
personal and family relationships.
As a psychotherapist, my role
is to enable the Client to gain such insight. My belief
is that the client is in the best position to resolve
their own difficulties, although they may need help
finding the answer or the strength to enable change.
Counselling and psychotherapy
is for anyone having difficulties with relationships,
going through a major adjustment or decision making
crisis, or who may want to gain some insight in terms of
self awareness. Counselling deals with ordinary every
day problems and issues, while psychotherapy generally
deals with deeper mental and emotional problems.
