Psychology
Psychology therapy allows you to consult with someone who has specialist knowledge and training in the area you may be struggling and needing assistance. Generally, it is a very helpful process to get things ‘off your chest’ with someone who will not judge and who may be able to offer some useful insights.
You may require therapy for various psychological disorders including Depression, Anxiety, Addiction, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, Psychotic illness, and Personality disorder. These disorders, as well as a raft of others, are diagnosable based on a cluster of symptoms that have a degree of impact on functioning and are generally experienced as a single episode or a more chronic health issue.

Will I find the sessions confronting?
Therapy can be confronting for some and perhaps seem tangential to the client’s perceived goal for treatment; however this may be the necessary work to ultimately reach your objective. You may at times feel challenged or misunderstood and as a result feel like disconnecting to therapy, but this may be the very moment just before insights are made and gains are experienced. Hang in there.
