Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is a helping process involving a confidential talking relationship between the therapist and client. The overall aim is for the client to explore feelings and thoughts with the therapist to enable them to understand themselves and their situation and manage their lives more effectively.
Psychotherapy is an intersubjective relationship between therapist and client. It does not involve algorithms or AI. It does involve two people talking with each other to explore the client's deeper underlying aspects of themselves; their inner world and personal experience, with a view to examining the ways they may have of dealing with themselves, others and the world. Psychotherapy is suitable for those whose problems are of a longer standing nature, or for those individuals who wish to gain insight into their personalities.
The therapist's approach to psychotherapy recognises the link, not always conscious, between past events in a person's life and their present experience, and appreciates the therapeutic benefit and advantage of the intersubjective relationship between the client and the therapist in their work together.
Psychotherapy is an open-ended treatment: its duration may be short or long. It is a process in which the client and therapist work together to understand the client's inner life by means of the unique relationship they both create.
