    Psychotherapist

    Psychotherapy is a way of helping people to overcome stress, emotional problems, relationship problems or troublesome habits. Psychotherapy is provided in a range of settings, including on an individual, group, marital or family basis.

    A psychotherapist may be a psychiatrist, social worker, psychologist, mental health nurse or other mental health professional who has had further specialist training in psychotherapy. Increasingly, there are a number of psychotherapists who do not have backgrounds in these fields but who have undertaken in-depth training in this area.

    The NHS employs psychotherapists in adult and child areas.

    Adult psychotherapists

    There are many opportunities in the NHS for psychotherapists to work with adult patients. Such roles can be found in a range of areas, working with patients with learning disabilities and mental health problems. Multi-disciplinary teams working in these areas will include mental health nurses, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists and a range of therapists (including psychotherapists).

    Child psychotherapists

    Child psychotherapists generally work in specialist child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) as part of a multidisciplinary team which will usually include mental health nurses, occupational therapists, child and adolescent psychiatrists, clinical psychologists and a range of therapists including those who are trained in systemic or cognitive therapy as well as psychoanalytic approaches.  CAMHS teams work in collaboration with staff from many other children’s services, including education and social services.

    Child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS)

    Mental health problems in children can create distress not only for the child or young person, but also their families and carers and may continue into adult life.

    Mental health problems in children can be associated with educational failure, family disruption, disability, offending and antisocial behaviour placing demands on social services, schools and the youth justice system. It is estimated that ten per cent of five to fifteen year olds have a diagnosable mental health disorder. This suggests that around 1.1 million children and young people, under eighteen, could benefit from specialist services, including up to 45,000 young people with a severe mental health disorder.

course description- pl visit the respective courses list

Counselling and psychotherapy are both processes of talking over difficult and sensitive issues in a confidential setting with a trained professional therapist or counsellor.

The aim of the process is to promote change, although the nature of this change will vary from person to person, depending on the issues they bring, the circumstances of their lives and their goals and aspirations. Defining the aim of the process is one of the first things that the counsellor and the client will do together.

Some people will have one specific issue/other kinds of issues, might have a definite goal of reducing or stopping their behaviour; someone else might be seeking relief from dominating emotional moods such as depression, anger, fear, jealousy or anxiety. I often use a practical, solution-focussed integrative psycho dynamic approach in such cases, sometimes incorporating cognitive-behavioural strategies if the client is open to this way of working.

Definition of Counselling

Counselling: is an interactive learning process contracted between counsellor(s) and client(s), be they individuals, families, groups or institutions, which approaches in a holistic way, social, cultural, economic and/or emotional issues.

Counselling may be concerned with addressing and resolving specific problems, making decisions, coping with crisis, improving relationships, developmental issues, promoting and developing personal awareness, working with feelings, thoughts, perceptions and internal or external conflict. The overall aim is to provide clients with opportunities to work in self-defined ways, towards living in more satisfying and resourceful ways as individuals and as members of the broader society.

(EAC definition of counselling adopted AGM 1995)

“If I can provide a certain type of relationship the other person will discover within himself the capacity to use that relationship for growth and change and personal development will occur.”
