Therapy helps individuals understand and resolve their problems by increasing awareness of their inner world and its influence over relationships both past and present. It also helps individuals find practical and useful solutions through a collaborative and empathic relationship that focuses on issues that are troubling them.  People seek therapy for many different reasons including underlying feelings of depression or anxiety, difficulties in concentrating, dissatisfaction in work or inability to form satisfactory relationships. It may benefit adults, children, and adolescents.
