What is psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy aims to help the individual gain insight into their difficulties or distress, establish a greater understanding of their motivation, and enable them to find more appropriate ways of coping or bring about changes in their thinking and behaviour.
Psychotherapy involves exploring feelings, beliefs, thoughts and relevant events, sometimes from childhood and personal history, in a structured way with someone trained to help you do it safely

What is the difference between counselling and psychotherapy?
The difference between the counselling and psychotherapy is a hotly debated issue. Different people use the words counselling and psychotherapy in different ways, so there is no commonly agreed definition. The stance of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) is that there is no difference between a counsellor and psychotherapist. However, the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy believes the difference lies in the length and depth of training, which is usually to masters degree level.
Lewis Psychology psychotherapists hold a minimum of a masters degree in psychotherapy and are registered with the BACP and/or British Psychological Society (BPS).
