Many different types of psychotherapy and counselling are available,
How do you choose?
The choice includes dozens of different types, for example, individual or group psychotherapy, family therapy,
person-centred counselling, cognitive-behavioural
counselling, therapeutic counselling, psychodynamic or psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
Do you go to your GP or find a private practitioner?
What is the difference between a psychiatrist,a psychologist or a psychotherapist?
Some people are convinced that one type is "better" than
another,
but there is research that indicates that it is not the type of psychotherapy or counselling that is so important but the
quality of the relationship and the degree of rapport with the therapist.
Perhaps the major differences are to do with personal philosophy of life:
do you prefer to quash problems such as depression or anxiety firmly on the head and get on with life or are you more interested in going on a journey with someone who can act as a guide and companion in getting to know and understand yourself much better.
