A Psychotherapist usually has, as a minimum, an undergraduate degree in a health related area plus additional training in psychotherapy, typically 4-6 years. Additionally most Psychotherapists undergo a period of personal psychotherapy to ensure they have suitable levels of self-awareness.
Psychotherapy is working in depth with people who are grappling with a range of personal and well-being issues including diagnosed mental health conditions.
Psychotherapists focus on assisting their clients medium-long term to explore and understand aspects of themselves and their experience. They assist their clients to understand how past experiences influence and shape their current responses to life events. The focus is on the here and now response, with the past providing a platform for understanding.
Psychotherapy is related to psychoanalysis, but is informed by modern interpersonal and relational models of working with clients. Psychotherapists draw from modern neurobiology and a range of evidenced based methods of working.
