Psychotherapy and counselling for individuals and couples

The From Stress To Success private practice is discreetly located in the centre of Penarth and is just 4 miles from Cardiff City centre. It is a one minute walk from Penarth train station and has free car parking close by (see the Find Us page for details of where we are).

 

How do I know if I need help?

If you are experiencing any kind of significant emotional or mental distress as a result of any issue, event or adverse circumstances in your life (whether it’s an on-going issue now or something in the past) then you would almost certainly benefit from some counselling or psychotherapy.

You shouldn't have to put up with not being able to live your life the way you want because of things that have happened to you in the past - everybody deserves a chance to have a life that works.

What is the difference between counselling and psychotherapy?

Historically, counselling was a term used in the UK and used to be thought of as non-directive (i.e. the patient talks and the counsellor just listens), whilst psychotherapy was coined in the US and was intended to imply a more dynamic approach to therapy. To all intents and purposes though there is no real difference between counselling and psychotherapy and the terms are more or less used interchangeably these days.

 

Why come to From Stress To Success for help with emotional problems?

 

  1. Because the therapy we use is effective - you should expect to feel somewhat better right away after the very first session
  2. It works very quickly - people require only 3 - 6 treatment sessions on average to recover from even long-term problems
  3. It is very cost effective - fewer treatment sessions means less cost
  4. The benefits are long-lasting - people can continue to use the techniques they've learnt into the future, thereby preventing relapse
