What is psychological therapy?

Psychological therapy is a way of helping people to work through a range of emotional, relational and mental health difficulties.

Psychological therapy provides a confidential space to meet regularly with a therapist to talk about issues which are problematic or areas of someone’s life that are causing them suffering/distress. Generally you would meet individually with a psychological therapist, but sometimes it may be more appropriate for you to be joined by your partner or family. Sessions normally last for 50-60 minutes, but sometimes it may be appropriate to have extended sessions. You will be invited to discuss your difficulties and goals for treatment at an initial assessment appointment.
