Psychotherapy or Coaching?

Not everybody who is experiencing difficulties needs psychotherapy or counselling. Often, especially when it comes to career and life goals, coaching is the better approach. 

Both Coaching and Psychotherapy improve an individual's well-being, emotional resilience and confidence. However, despite the occasional overlap there are significant differences.

To help you decide which is the better approach here is the difference: Counselling and psychotherapy works with mental health diagnosis and aims to resolve an individual's psychological dysfunction and ill health.

We have full professional insurance and regular supervision.

We highly value the quality of training and experience, therefore all our therapists are trained in psychotherapy at post-graduate level and abide by UKCP and/or BACP guidelines, meaning that we can offer both psychotherapy and counselling.
