Psychology is the study of human behaviour. It seeks to look at the motivational drives within an individual and offer an explanation to the behaviour that is demonstrated.
Psychotherapy is a practical branch of psychology that aims to cure psycholoigical and emotional disorders with the use of processes devised to facilitate the communication of inner conflict, in order to gain insight into human problems. It is a kind of counselling that looks to resolve the basic issues related to the patients problem. Any form or procedure that deals with psychological problems can be called psychotherapy.
The treatment of mental and emotional disorders through the use of psychological techniques designed to encourage communication of conflicts and insight into problems, with the goal being relief of symptoms, changes in behavior leading to improved social and vocational functioning, and personality growth.

It can often prove useful in treating emotional problems and mental health conditions such as:

What is Counselling?
Counselling takes place when a counsellor sees a client in a private and confidential setting to explore a difficulty the client is having, distress they may be experiencing or perhaps their dissatisfaction with life, or loss of a sense of direction and purpose.
Counselling is a process that enables a person to sort out issues and reach decisions affecting their life. Often counselling is sought out at times of change or crisis, it need not be so, however, as counselling can also help us at any time of our life. It is a way of enabling choice or change or of reducing confusion. It does not involve giving advice or directing a client to take a particular course of action. Counsellors do not judge or exploit their clients in any way.
Clients usually find counselling a very liberating and empowering experience.
Counselling can be used for:
- dealing with current problems
- dealing with the past
- planning for the future
- personal growth
