Psychotherapy is a longer process which addresses on long-term issues and unhelpful beliefs, behaviours and feelings that limit personal potential and fulfilment.
Counselling is usually short term, 8 to 12 sessions. It generally focuses on a current issue or area of difficulty.
Humanistic Therapy:
respects the uniqueness of every individual
values the whole person – emotionally, spiritually, intellectually and physically
works to integrate and balance these four vital human attributes
believes everyone can realise their full potential
supports individuals to become autonomous and responsible
emphasises the use and value of the therapeutic relationship
provides a safe, accepting and confidential space to ‘be’
People who seek therapy may be:
going through a life crisis or major change.
dealing with loss and grief.
experiencing emotional challenges.
facing trauma or serious illness.
exploring personal growth and fulfilment.
seeking greater life satisfaction.
Accessing counselling or psychotherapy is a healthful choice. It is for everyone across the life span. Age is no barrier to personal change and fulfilment.
