Psychotherapy

Retail Description

Psychotherapy is structured talking therapy with a qualified practitioner. Approaches include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), interpersonal therapy, EMDR and schema therapy, and the practitioner will explain which one they suggest and why.

The first sessions focus on understanding what brings you in and agreeing on goals. Sessions are confidential within the limits the practitioner explains at the start. If you are in crisis, call 000 or Lifeline on 13 11 14.

Psychotherapy can work alongside care from your GP, psychiatrist or other practitioners.
