Psychological therapy can help you deal with any difficulties, life issues or symptoms of psychological disorder. You may be unsure what the problem is but feel that you need to talk to someone, or you may have a specific issue that you would like to address. Issues that can be addressed in psychological therapy include: lack of confidence and/or low self-esteem, difficulties in sustaining relationships, bereavement and other losses, depression, anxiety, difficulty in expressing feelings, loneliness, cultural issues, trauma, abuse, phobias, psycho-sexual problems, identity issues, difficulties related to abuse or unhappiness in childhood, stress at work and issues related to health or disability.
Psychological therapy is not only for resolving problems. It is valuable for anyone who wants to learn more about themselves and their relationships and improve their general sense of emotional well-being.
