Psychotherapy or talking therapy works on the underlying emotional issues that cause what we call the presenting problem.

Presenting problems are varied and the causes can be difficult to identify. The more obvious ones are as a result of trauma caused by a tragic or shocking event. As a psychotherapist I would support you in dealing with difficult the emotions that result from the shock and help you to deal move on from the event that caused them.

If you are suffering from depression or addiction, the cause or causes may be more subtle and well hidden. In cases like this psychotherapy will help you to uncover the issues that cause self destructive behaviours and enable you to reclaim your life.

When you have a good working relationship with your therapist and work with the process you will almost certainly make progress. The amount of progress required is for you to judge but again it is within your control; you choose how fast and how deep the therapy goes. Progress can be judged on how your feelings and state of mind improve or how your behaviour has changes.
