Counselling vs. Psychotherapy
Counselling focuses on helping individuals navigate specific challenges, life events, or emotional difficulties in a supportive, short-term setting (from 5-10 sessions). It is often solution-focused, providing tools and guidance to manage immediate concerns.
Psychotherapy explores deeper into understanding and addressing complex emotional and psychological patterns. It often involves long-term work (from several months to years), to explore underlying causes of mental health issues, promoting lasting personal growth and change.
CBT helps you identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It focuses on practical strategies to improve your mental well-being and daily life.
This is the starting point, where emotions and thoughts feel tangled and overwhelming, bringing feelings of confusion or distress. Here, we focus on building trust and starting to untangle these "knots" together, creating a foundation for growth.
Here, we explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns to uncover the root of your challenges. Together, we simplifying the complexities of your experience, bringing clarity and insight that guide you toward understanding and growth.

The final phase represents true growth and healing, as overwhelmed feelings blossom into clarity, resilience, and confidence. By now, you feel empowered, equipped with the tools and insights to face future challenges and thrive independently.
