Psychotherapy and counselling provide a confidential space where you can talk about your concerns and feelings in the presence of an experienced professional, who doesn't judge you and who is willing to listen and explore with you your thoughts, feelings and any problems you may be facing.
The aim of psychotherapy is specific to each client, however, generally, psychotherapy or counselling is intended to help improve well-being and lead to a greater capacity to make choices and changes that enhance your life.
You may wish to address a particular problem - a personal crisis or a specific emotional difficulty - however, you might also benefit from therapeutic exploration when you don't know exactly what troubles you but generally feel that your life is not as fulfilling as it could be.
