Psychotherapy is primarily a talk-based therapy intended to help people improve mental health and wellbeing. Some psychotherapy may also include non-verbal activities like music, art or play therapy. Registered Psychotherapists (RPs) work with individuals, couples and families in one-on-one and group settings. Psychotherapy occurs when the RP and client enter into a psychotherapeutic relationship where both work together to bring about positive change in the client’s thinking, feeling, behaviour and social functioning. People usually seek psychotherapy when they have thoughts, feelings, moods and behaviours that are adversely affecting their day-to-day lives, relationships and the ability to enjoy life.
This service is conducted by a registered psychotherapist and member of the Skerrett Psychology team. If at any point the client requires a diagnosis, they can be directly referred to clinical assessment services within our offices.
