Psychotherapy is suitable for people who face chronic or short-term mental health issues which they cannot deal with by themselves and significantly interfere with their lives. Such issues include: anxiety, phobias, depression, relationship issues, eating disorders, addictions, panic attacks, sexual dysfunctions, psychosomatic issues, etc.

It is important to point out that nowadays these conditions are very common and met in all types of people regardless of age, socio-economic status, educational level and cognitive state.
Sufferers often believe they are "problematic" or "special" while everyone around them is "normal". They may also get used to hiding their concerns from friends and family because they are worried that others will make fun at them, will not sympathize with their feelings or consider them "crazy".
However, if one starts to share their concerns with other people, they will soon find out that their issues are quite common. So it makes sense that psychotherapy may benefit all people who seek a better quality of life, a better relationship with themselves and with other people.
Regarding the "problematic" concern, clinical practice shows that people who come to therapy are usually much more sensible and well-balanced compared to other people who do not seek professional help. They are normal, emotionally sensitive and usually highly intelligent people, who face some personal challenges and simply dare to admit that they need help and seek it.
