Psychotherapy Sessions

Psychotherapy is a general term for treating mental health problems. It is usually more in depth than counselling and focuses on exploring the  painful feelings and experiences you have experienced in the past but which are affecting you in the present. By working with a skilled therapist you can work through and alleviate symptoms such as phobias, anxiety, depression that are adversely affect your life.

It may take only weeks to help you cope with a short-term situation. Or, treatment may last a year or longer if you have a long-term mental illness or other long-term concerns. Psychotherapy may not cure your condition or make an unpleasant situation go away. But it can give you the power to cope in a healthy way and to feel better about yourself and your life.

Psychotherapy will help you to take control of your life so you can respond to challenging situations with healthy coping skills. And not everyone who benefits from psychotherapy is diagnosed with a mental illness.  Psychotherapy can help with a number of life’s stresses and conflicts that can affect anyone.
