Psychotherapy in Leeds

A trained psychotherapist aims to help you to understand why you feel the way you do. They will also explore the reasons for your responses to other people and to things that happen to you.

You may talk about your childhood, your dreams and your fantasies and what can be learnt from the relationship you have developed with your therapist. Sometimes you may be encouraged to release bad feelings by crying or getting angry, as well as by talking.

Talking about your past can help you get rid of painful feelings and find better ways of managing situations you've been finding difficult. By understanding the way your experiences have shaped your life you'll be better able to change your responses and control self-destructive behaviour. This can help you deal with problems such as eating disorders, lack of confidence, addictions or just help you lead a happier, healthier life.
