Interpersonal Psychotherapy

Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) is an empirically validated treatment for a variety of mental health issues. It focuses on interpersonal issues, as these are understood to be a factor in the development and maintenance of psychological distress. IPT focuses on symptom resolution, improved interpersonal functioning, and increased social support.

IPT is evidenced-based, with research supporting its use for mood and anxiety disorders, among others, for people across the lifespan. It is recognised as an effective therapy by a range of organisation and professional bodies across the world.
