Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach that aims to explore the unconscious mind to understand and address emotional and psychological issues. It focuses on uncovering underlying conflicts and patterns of behaviour that may contribute to current difficulties.

Therapists adopt various approaches, but common elements include creating a safe and non-judgmental space, exploring emotions and thoughts, and developing coping strategies. Each therapist may have their unique style and techniques.

Therapists may have a special interest in various areas such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues, and more. This often aligns with their training, experience, and areas of interest.

Therapists typically have relevant qualifications in psychology, counselling, or a related field, along with practical experience gained through internships, supervised practice, and ongoing professional development.

Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that uses hypnosis to induce a trance-like state in which individuals are more open to suggestion and can access their subconscious mind to address various issues such as anxiety, smoking cessation, and phobias.

Therapists may integrate counselling techniques with hypnotherapy or other therapeutic modalities to address clients' needs. They often emphasise empathy, understanding, and collaboration to facilitate positive changes in clients' lives.

Therapists employ a range of techniques and interventions, including cognitive-behavioural techniques, mindfulness practices, relaxation exercises, and psychodynamic approaches, tailored to meet the individual needs of each client.

Some therapists may enjoy working with specific communities or addressing particular issues such as LGBTQIA+ concerns, trauma, addiction, body image issues, or cultural considerations. Their interest reflects their training and experience.

Therapists differentiate themselves through their approach, expertise, empathy, and commitment to helping clients achieve their therapeutic goals. They create a supportive and empowering environment for clients to explore and address their concerns.

Therapists adhere to strict confidentiality guidelines to protect clients' privacy and ensure a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. They discuss confidentiality policies and limitations with clients at the beginning of therapy.
