About Therapy
What is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy or Counselling is the leading ‘talk therapy’ used in educational, healthcare, social care and community settings. It is often engaged in helping individuals achieve higher self-awareness, motivation and acceptance in a wide range of life situations. These include career or life stage transitions, social or relational crisis, personal or emotional disturbance among other things.
As a professional practice, counselling is based on sound psychological, social and developmental theories. Professional counsellors apply these theories to help persons receiving counselling to better understand their situation, explore options, consider relevant factors, design appropriate coping strategies, prepare for their implementation and learn from the experience.
When do I seek therapy?
It varies from person to person. Some people uses counselling as soon as they sense a problem is growing in their lives, while others seek professional help when they feel overwhelmed. More often than not, a person’s readiness to engage in extensive discussions on a specific area of their lives that affects them is a condition for therapy to work well.

Psychotherapy for Men
Grow Wisdom through Reflections & Awareness
Most of us reflect on our lives and recognise there are unresolved parts of the past. While most do not affect our day-to-day lives adversely or in a big way, some may influence the way we look at and treat matters such as relationships and careers. Individuals may benefit from psychotherapy that focuses on exploring personal experiences, thoughts, and feelings in specific areas. Men in modern society face different challenges from those that came before them. These challenges affect their self-concepts, self-esteem, and the way they engage others.
Many develop insights about themselves which help them move forward in their lives through deep reflections in therapy. Professional counselling and psychotherapy offer individuals a safe and confidential space to work through these personal concerns
