Counselling and Psychotherapy provide effective models for understanding and evaluating : How we react in certain situations The areas of our lives where we want to make changes The level of self acceptance that we have A helpful insight into why we feel the way we do What motivates us What is Counselling and Psychotherapy? Therapy offers you a safe, confidential space where you will be listened to carefully and without judgment. From there it is possible to clarify what the problem or unease is, how it came to be, and to move forward. It is a chance to explore, think about and understand life, so that you can live it well. Counselling and psychotherapy are both 'talking therapies' that offer people a chance to change how they feel and to live better. UKCP's training standards & qualifications seek to ensure that UKCP registrants are competent to practice to the highest standards. Why do people come? People may want to see a therapist for all kinds of reasons, often for help with emotional difficulties like loneliness, anxiety, depression and bereavement. Some people come in the midst of emotional crisis when they feel like they are falling apart and need some help to manage and cope with life. Others feel stuck in recurring patterns that limit and undermine their capacity to live a fulfilled life. Such patterns may interfere with relationships, success in work and career or with simply feeling fully alive. Whether it is for self-development or actualising your potential, or whether it is for dealing with confusion, uncertainty and emotional issues or to work through patterns and limitations - in all these situations engaging in therapy can offer support and effective change. What can Counselling and Psychotherapy offer you? Gaining new perspectives, developing insight and gaining understanding about your thoughts, feelings and behaviours in a confidential therapeutic relationship. Increased capacity for self responsibility and support to be the change you want to see! Provide support during difficult periods in life, such as bereavement, relationship difficulties. Help you sort out your priorities and make clear choices about the future. Support in facing difficult feelings. A creative approach with an experienced therapist who wishes to relate to you with integrity and respect. There may be times in our lives when we feel stuck and our difficulties seem insurmountable. We may see the changes that are needed but have lost sight of the means and road to take us there. Counselling and psychotherapy can often help. Can you imagine talking in a way that moves you in a direction that enhances your choicefulness and honours your being? Talking with an experienced therapist can help us become more aware of who we are and how we function in the world. With increased awareness and support from the therapeutic relationship we can develop our capacity for choice and change.
