What is psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is a talking therapy used to help people with a wide range of emotional and psychological issues. A psychotherapist is a trained professional who provides a safe environment for you to talk to and improve your mental health.
Many of us will experience one or mental health conditions in our lives. And opening up to them and seeking help is a sign of great strength.
How can psychotherapy help me?
People see psychotherapists for many different reasons, including:
- Sex and sexuality issues,
- Depression,
- Addiction,
- Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID),
- Stress,
- Relationship issues,
- Anxiety,
- Self-esteem issues,

Gaining insight into your mind is also a powerful form of self-development. You don't need to experience one or more of the above to see a therapist. It might just be that you feel out of sorts, lacking in meaning or have a big decision to make in life.
Whatever the reason, a conversation with a compassionate, independent, and knowledgeable mind expert can help clarify your thoughts, feelings and decisions.
