What is Psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy, often referred to as "talking therapy," is a form of counselling that helps individuals navigate through life's challenges and emotional struggles. It provides a safe and confidential space for people to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours with the guidance of a trained professional called a psychotherapist.
