Individual psychotherapy, also known as talking therapy, involves a one-to-one relationship between a therapist and a client. This type of therapy is conducted in a safe and confidential space, where the client can discuss their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours without fear of judgment. The therapist's role is to help the client gain insight into their experiences and relationships, explore patterns that have formed in early years and may be showing up in the present day, and develop strategies to cope with difficult emotions and situations.

​

One of the key benefits of individual psychotherapy is the confidential space it provides. It can make it easier for individuals to open up and share personal information when they know that it will be kept private. This can help them feel more comfortable and secure, which in turn can facilitate the therapeutic process. Additionally, the one-to-one nature of the therapy allows the therapist to focus solely on the client's needs, rather than dividing their attention among multiple clients.
