Psychotherapy is a specialisation for working in depth with people who are grappling with a range of personal and well-being issues including diagnosed mental health conditions.
Psychotherapists focus on assisting their clients to explore and understand aspects of themselves and their experience. They assist their clients to understand how past experiences influence and shape their current responses to life events. The focus is on the here and now response, the past simply provides the platform for understanding.
Psychotherapy is related to its cousin, psychoanalysis, but is informed by modern interpersonal and relational models of working with clients. Psychotherapists draw from modern neurobiology and a range of evidenced based methods of working.
What is the difference between a psychologist & a psychotherapist?
There are more similarities than differences and often they intersect quite a bit. Psychologists generally take a scientific approach to the study of the human mind and will often incorporate cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in sessions as a means for treatment. Psychotherapists is more client focused and understanding what is underlying presenting behaviours or concerns and working collaboratively to relieve these. Depending on the client and their needs a variety of elements may be used including person-centred therapy, play therapy, CBT, ACT and solution-focused therapy within a safe space.
