Psychotherapy: What is it?

Psychotherapy describes a talking therapy used to treat many personal difficulties such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties and generally coming to terms with difficult situations and changes in your life. Psychotherapy involves talking to a licensed professional during a scheduled series of weekly appointments. Psychotherapy can be offered for a six sessions initially, in order to find out what the key issues are. Then if you want to carry on, the therapist will make a contract with you to work on the things you wish to change or solve. For some people this takes 6 months, but can in some cases take many years.
