Briefly, psychological services, counselling and psychotherapy are talking therapies that aim to help clients alleviate their difficulties. The process involves assessment, the psychotherapist, psychologist. therapist or counsellor will firstly assess the client and the client will set the goal for the sessions. The therapist will then start the psychotherapy process and will draw on a number of different therapeutic approaches, choosing the most suitable approach, for each of the client’s individual issue with the hope that this will help the client alleviate any emotional difficulties and to reach the end and desired outcome. This process takes into account not only the client’s present and past issues but also exploration of societal trends that could play role in the development and maintenance of the client’s issues. Ideally, the therapist should also suggest some work in between the sessions at home as an hour of therapy for a lifetime accumulation of issues is helpful but not doing extra work could prolong the psychotherapy process.
