Counselling and psychotherapy takes place when a client sees a therapist in a confidential setting to examine a difficulty. This may be anxiety about a particular problem, dissatisfaction with life or loss of sense of direction.

By listening attentively and patiently the therapist can begin to see the problem not only from the client's point of view but often from a different perspective to enable clarification and understanding of the situation. Therapy can then help the client to make changes or to reduce the confusion felt.

During the session the client is helped to explore several aspects of their life and feelings, freely and openly in a way that is rarely possible with friends or family and with someone who does not judge.

Hypnotherapy is a therapy that attempts to address an individual's subconsious mind using the power of suggestion to bring about beneficial change. Although hypnotherapy is not the same as sleep (the individual will still have awareness and control) hypnotherapists often require the individual to be in a deeply relaxed state to enable them to use their imagination fully.
