What is it?

This type of therapy provides the opportunity for people to explore the issues and problems that are causing upset or distress. The counsellor will help clients gain an insight into their feelings and behaviour, in a non-judgemental and non-directive way, and support clients in finding ways to improve themselves and their situation.

Is there a difference between therapy for individuals and therapy for couples?

Relationship / couples counselling is similar, but involves more than one person and is focused specifically on relationship issues.

Is it effective?

Research has shown counselling to be an effective way of making things better. Indeed, it has been shown to be as effective as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for many common problems, such as depression.
