Some reasons for seeking therapy

People seek counselling or longer term psychotherapy for a wide variety of reasons, not necessarily for diagnosable problems. Sometimes a crisis has arisen in their life which has stirred up a number of difficult issues. Occasionally a difficulty that has been ignored for many years suddenly presents itself as an obstacle to moving on. We are not necessarily a ‘clinically’ orientated practice and tend to see the person before the problem. Life is what brings most of our clients to seek help, they often find themselves at a juncture in their life where they need a helping hand to the next stage. Below are some of the more typical issues of which we have extensive experience.

Anxiety and panic	Stress
Depression	Low self-esteem
Anger management	Eating disorders
Substance misuse	Bereavement
Self-Harm	Relationship problems
