What is Psychotherapy?

My therapeutic work is based upon two therapeutic approaches: psychodynamic and Rogerian person centered psychotherapy.

Our sessions will offer you a confidential, non-judgmental and creative space in which to explore your thoughts and feelings in relation to your difficulties. It is not the therapists role to provide answers and quick fixes, but to work with you to develop a greater understanding of aspects of yourself, your life and relationships which you may not have been able to consider before, or which you may not have been aware of. This can be a way of gaining clarity and enabling change as well as relieving distress.

The therapeutic approach based on psychodynamic priciples takes into account unconscious processes and repeated patterns as they are manifest in an individual's present behaviour. Psychodynamic therapy helps to facilitate self-awareness and understanding of the influence of the past on the present behaviour.

Person Centered therapy according to ist founder, Carl Rogers, believes that:

"every individual has the internal resources for growth"

"when the therapist offers the core conditions of congruence, unconditional positive regard and empathy, therapeutic movement (growth)will take place;"

"that the individual should be the primary reference point in any helping activity"

When is Psychotherapy commendable?

When recurring anxieties, depressed feelings, feelings of meaninglessness and emptiness, affect you in such a way as to overshadow and interfere with your daily quality of life,
When you are encumbered with feelings of isolation, loneliness and lack of sense of belonging,
If you suffer from pain or have other physical complaints, such as a racing heartbeat, extreme headaches, lower abdominal pains, however, no organic cause can be found,
When low self-esteem, lack of confidence represent a blockage in daily life,
When needing help with an eating disorder,
When you've been physically or sexually abused or have had other traumatic experiences,
When needing help and support with grief, loss, bereavement because of divorce, ending of a relationship or death,
