    Other conditions helped by therapy

    There are many reasons that someone may need help from therapy or counselling. Some conditions have long standing routes in psychotherapeutic treatment, where as others are relatively pioneering.

    Mental health Disorders

    There are a wide range of therapeutic treatments available to help with mental health disorders.

    Many people in the UK suffer from some form of mental health condition that greatly impacts their life. Therapy can help to uncover where these mental health conditions stem from, develop tools for coping with them, and establish practices to overcome them if possible. Some of the most common forms of mental health conditions treated by therapy include:

    • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
    • Anxiety
    • Depression
    • Obsessions and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

    Trauma

    Trauma come in multiple forms and almost all require therapy

    Post-traumatic stress

    One of the most common psychological conditions people with trauma experience is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Speaking to a therapist via counselling sessions can help explore the original source of the trauma and work through the difficult emotional reactions associated with it.

    Self-harm and suicidal ideation

    People who are experiencing difficult emotions or have experienced trauma may turn to self-harm as a way of coping. Those who hurt themselves often don’t know who to turn to or how else to deal with the pain they feel and can end up causing serious damage.

    Emotional distress

    Emotional distress can arise from multiple sources and some may not be aware they are suffering until it is too late. By speaking to a therapist and attending regular counselling sessions, those who are experiencing difficulty managing their emotions can learn techniques to be better equipped for dark periods.

    Relationships & sex

    Some couples require specialised therapy to strengthen relationships

    Relationships

    Occasionally relationships can suffer, whether it be because of an indiscretion, the length of time together, or simply the loss of spark in a couple’s sex life. Couples counselling can help work through relationship issues and open up a dialogue between two people where there may not have been one before.

    Sex-related issues

    Sex-related issues are not confined to those in a relationship. Issues such as erectile dysfunction, loss of libido, and phobias around sex can develop in anyone for a wide range of reasons. Experiencing psychological issues with sex can lead to feelings of isolation and being unsociable around desired sexual partners.
