Counselling and psychotherapy in South West London

The terms 'counselling' and 'psychotherapy' are used interchangeably. Counselling is often short-term work, psychotherapy usually takes place over a longer period of time.

What will we do? Although some of our work together may involve talking about what is currently happening in your life, it may be important to talk about things that have happened in your past to help understand how this has impacted on your life today. Then, together we can consider changes that could lead to improvements in your life.
