This programme defines that the counselling, to be meaningful has to be specific for each client since it involves his unique problems and expectations. Psychotherapy aims to improve an individual's well-being and mental health, to resolve or mitigate troublesome behaviours, beliefs, compulsions, thoughts or emotions and to improve relationships and social skills.
