Psychotherapy 101, Introducing Psychotherapy

This article tries to introduce the fundamental ideas and tenants of psychotherapy. It starts by introducing the thought of the psychotherapist, their training and also the profession. After that it goes on to introduce the psychotherapeutic relationship and some of its ideas. It ends by introducing probably the most common psychotherapy theories.

The Psychotherapist:

A psychotherapist is somebody that provides psychotherapy to clients on the professional basis. This can be to the people, couples, families or perhaps in a group setting. A psychotherapist may have other trainings or backgrounds. For example they may be also a doctor, social worker, mental health worker, nurse or counsellor. However, if seeing a client for psychotherapy they'll only have that role using the client and never be providing them with every other service.

Psychotherapists will often have had a rigorous training which is generally between 4-8 years long. This training may have involved a time of supervised practice as well as their own personal therapy. Many psychotherapists will be members of an expert organisation such as the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

The Psychotherapeutic Relationship:

The psychotherapist accounts for creating a relationship where psychotherapeutic change can occur. This involves ensuring that the psychotherapy happens in a personal, comfortable and safe environment. They will offer to the client a particular level of confidentiality which ensures that the customer feels confident that they can open towards the psychotherapist without their loved ones friends, colleagues, or any other professionals being informed about what they are discussing. The psychotherapist will even listen very carefully towards the client and enable them to to identify their set goals and wishes for that work. It is this active listening and engagement through the psychotherapist that helps create the psychotherapeutic relationship.
