Find an Interpersonal Therapist in Brighton & Hove

Interpersonal therapy (IPT) is a therapeutic approach that encourages clients to regain control of their mood. Generally short-term (12-16 weeks), IPT has a goal of rapid symptom reduction, concentrating on interpersonal issues and focusing on the way symptoms are related to a person’s relationships.

IPT does not address personality issues and instead centers around tackling identifiable problems in how an individual relates to and interacts with others. While interpersonal therapy is primarily used in treating depression, it has been successfully adopted to treat conditions ranging from substance abuse to eating disorders.
