Psychotherapy can help with:

  • Anxiety, depression, and mood difficulties
  • Relationship problems
  • Family and parenting issues
  • Loss, trauma, and adjustment to change
  • Personal growth, identity, and self-understanding

It is usually non-prescriptive and non-directive—it’s not about advice-giving, but about exploring and understanding your own mind.

Psychotherapy is not normally a form of crisis intervention. In extreme situations, hospital care or medical treatment may be necessary. But if you are already in therapy, your therapist can be an important support when crises occur.
