About Counselling and Psychotherapy
 What is the difference between Counselling and Psychotherapy?
Counselling offers a means of reassessing your life in times of crisis using your own personal resources. Through your relationship with the counsellor you can explore your current difficulty and discuss possible options and solutions. It may be short term in duration or can be extended and reviewed regularly by the client and counsellor.
Psychotherapy requires a longer committment; You may be locked in a cycle of negative behaviours and keep feeling the same unpleasant feelings. You may have difficulty getting close to people, maintaining long term relationships or holding down a job.
In psychotherapy you and the therapist work together to break the cycle. It involves looking at the past so that you can make new decisions in the present
With psychotherapy you can rediscover your internal psychological resources.
About Transactional Analysis
Transactional Analysis (TA) is a method of psychotherapy with a strong emphasis on behaviour and communication. Developed in the USA by Eric Berne in the 1960’s, it focuses on how people communicate with each other at the explicit verbal level and also at an implicit non verbal level often out of awareness. With this strong focus on communication TA is an ideal tool for looking at how we form relationships.
By analysing transactions with others, an individual can gain insight into how they communicate at the explicit and implicit levels. The concepts of TA are easily accessible to the layperson (no psychobabble) and can often help to bring clarity to relationships
TA maintains:
Everyone is deserving of respect
Everyone has the capacity to understand their situation.
Emotional difficulties are treatable given adequate knowledge and the proper approach.
Areas of Specialism:
I am particularly interested in working with clients to resolve relationship difficuties
Do you wonder if you will ever meet the right person?
Have you been told that you are too needy in a relationship?
Perhaps you have been told that you are too distant?
Has jealousy and suspicion ever ruined a relationship for you?
Have you had difficulty with fidelity and commitment in a significant relationship?
Do you want a relationship to succeed but find yourself having the same old arguments and following the same destructive behaviours?
When a relationship ends are you left wondering “How did I end up here –again?
If the answer to any of the above was “YES” and you want to change this then get in touch with Amaranth Counselling
