Our work is informed by the psychoanalytic approach and there are overlaps between each form of therapy. It can be difficult to distinguish between Counselling, Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, but we offer this as a guide:

Space for thinking about emotional difficulties
More focus on the present and difficulties
on everyday life
Psychotherapy
Twice to three times a week sessions
More focus on linking past and present experiences
Deeper exploration of unconscious factors behind emotional difficulties.
British Psychoanalytic
Council
Psychoanalysis
