Psychotherapy is a type of talking treatment that helps people explore emotional difficulties, patterns of thinking, and relationships. It supports self-understanding and long-term emotional growth through a safe, structured therapeutic relationship with a trained professional.
Psychotherapy can benefit anyone experiencing emotional distress, mental health conditions, or difficulties with relationships, identity, or self-esteem. It’s especially helpful for people who want to understand deeper patterns in their thoughts and feelings or work through trauma, grief, or long-standing issues.
Psychotherapy is often used for:
Depression and anxiety
PTSD and trauma
Personality difficulties
Relationship issues
Bereavement
Chronic stress
Identity-related struggles
Childhood emotional neglect
It suits people who are ready to engage in reflective work over time. Psychotherapy is often chosen by people who’ve tried short-term treatments like CBT and want to go deeper. It can be particularly supportive for neurodivergent adults, LGBTQ+ clients, and those recovering from complex trauma.
