Who needs psychotherapy?
Almost anyone experiencing psychological or emotional challenges can benefit from psychotherapy. Psychotherapy is often recommended for people diagnosed with mental illness. It can also be used by people experiencing distress, difficulties in coping with work or demands of daily life, relationship problems, self-esteem issues, addictions, and intense emotions such as anger, anxiety, or depression. Research studies have shown that psychotherapy is effective for people with various personal issues.
As well, psychotherapy is a way to promote self-understanding and personal growth. Anyone can pursue psychotherapy to understand oneself better, to have clearer life objectives and direction, or to discover one’s own potentials and to utilize opportunities. Having a better understanding of oneself can have noticeable influences on one’s thought processes and perceptions on life.
