Psychological Therapies
Psychotherapy is:
“…essentially a conversation which involves listening to
and talking with those in trouble with the aim of
helping them understand and resolve their
predicament.” - Brown and Pedder.
“…an interpersonal process designed to bring about a
modification of feelings, cognitions, attitudes and
behaviour which have proven troublesome to the
person seeking help.” Hans Strupp
“…the art of alleviating personal difficulties through the
agency of words and a personal, professional
relationship”. - Anthony Storr
