The word psyche comes from the Greek word meaning the soul.
Therapy comes from the Greek word therapeia meaning healing.
So, quite literally therapy is a healing of the soul.

As you can imagine healing the soul takes a long time.
Psychotherapy is not a quick fix. It is a long term
process that involves a commitment to working
through on a deep level unconscious processes
and organising principles that have become
deeply embedded in our minds and affect our
everyday lives.

Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to
talk in complete confidence. The emphasis
is for you to find the answers within yourself
in secure and accepting environment. In the
process of psychotherapy you may come to
see patterns from the past and notice how
they affect our present relationships.
