Psychotherapy refers to a therapeutic interaction or treatment contracted between a trained professional and a client The problems addressed are psychological in nature and of no specific kind or degree, but rather depend on the specialty of the practitioner. Working with this enables the client to begin to gain a better psychological understanding of what it is that is disturbing for them and become aware of how unconscious processes affect their lives, as well as develop awareness.

Stress is a mental, emotional, physical, and often behavioural response to a wide variety of stimulants, events or traumas. It may manifest its self in Anxiety, Worry, Panic Attacks, Body Rashes, Confusion and any other number of psychological responses. Contrary to popular belief, stress is not necessarily caused by an acutely upsetting event. The term actually refers to demands placed on you by everyday experiences that result in your bodys stimulating itself physiologically to meet those demands.

People seek therapy for many different issues such as Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Panic Attacks, Loss, Bereavement or Addiction issues. At other times people have issues which are deeply entrenched, that have been ‘bubbling away’ for some time and are now seeking attention. Talking with an accredited therapist can help alleviate the stress and help a person learn to cope with their situation in a better way.

'Talk Therapy' encourages greater self awareness and reinforces the healthy aspects of you also.Both Counselling and Psychotherapy involve the provision of listening, evaluating and providing professional assistance to people who are experiencing personal issues, in order to help alleviate those difficulties. Counselling tends to deal with more immediate issues that may have arisen recently, e.g. bereavement or relationship breakdown. Psychotherapy tends to deal with deeper, more long-term issues that can perhaps be rooted in the past and have links with feelings, behaviours and issues that are on going. Patterns can be developed over time as a way of coping and by becoming more aware of these patterns that are perhaps no longer useful, change becomes possible. The terms for the counselling and psychotherapy approaches overlap and are often used interchangeably. They incorporate the giving of attention and respect in a confidential relationship. Low Cost Service:How many sessions will I need?  Aideen BigginsSiobhan Dinan.
