Psychotherapy @ Eastwood Psychologists

Psychotherapy is a special kind of relationship, where you will talk with your therapist to resolve your difficulties and create new possibilities. Your therapists’ role is to help you make changes in your life. Your therapist brings knowledge and expertise about how to help people make changes and overcome psychological difficulties, however, it is important to know that you are at the centre of therapy and will work as a teammate with your therapist. Typically, people seek therapy due to a sense of dissatisfaction with life or emotional pain. This can be an immediate distress related to a clear crisis such as a loss or separation, or perhaps an ongoing difficulty in some area of life such as relationships, work, and school. Some people might seek psychotherapy because they are suffering from strong, debilitating sadness, fear or worry. At other times, people may have no clear external problems, but an inner sense of dissatisfaction, emptiness, or that something is missing.
