Mental Health – Psychotherapy:
allows people the space to safely explore important aspects of their lives, which can result in personal growth and healing. Psychotherapists assist with people who have experienced loss, are facing health challenges, support in end of life, anxiety, depression, trauma and exploring meaning and direction. They support those wanting to focus on specific areas in their life such as general well-being, weight loss, life transitions and much more. Psychotherapists take a unique approach in their work with people, bringing a health and science background, which equips them to understand physical aspects of a person’s health and how they can impact mental health.
