ISSUES FOR THERAPY

Therapy is often described as a psychological MOT service which ensures that people are fully functioning in their various life endeavours. Many people seek professional help and therapy for a number reasons:

  • To deal with life changing challenges (e.g. career change, loss of job, divorce) or
  • To deal with / manage ongoing mental health problems (e.g. depression, anxiety etc). 


Many people are able to notice that they have problems and are able to seek professional help by themselves. In some situation however, others may be encouraged to seek professional help by  family, friends, or medical professionals because they noticed some unfamiliar change in the person's behaviour or personality. In other situations, people may be mandated by the court to attend therapy as part of a court ruling .


In FCC Clinics, we understand that whatever the reason for therapy or whoever that initiated it, it takes courage and dedication to engage with the therapeutic process. We are therefore committed to make the process as individualised and smooth as possible and work with you to arrive at your desired therapeutic goals.
