Individual Therapy

Psychotherapy is a system of supporting deep , broad and resilient change.

A person is seeing as a psychosocial system that is constantly interacting with environment. Physical and emotional procedures are all affected by the quality of the relationships that the environment is fostering, personal, family or social.

In therapy we work on the roles this person has learned to play and interact with, we look deeply into the patterns of communication and emotional interaction and we also aim to recognise myths and unprocessed dysfunctions that are carried along from even previous generations

Psychotherapy today, gives us the hope of a change that is possible! Immense variety of tools that help us understand, connect and interfere are in our disposal and the role of the therapist is to use them wisely.

Most important aspect of therapy is that it nests in a very special and elaborate relationship: The therapeutic relationship. In this safe place, the person is able to bring the most vulnerable parts and also find space to recognise and treat the emotional deficiencies that are emerging in close and important relationships. Gradually this becomes a corrective experience that heals, restores traumatised parts of self, allows hidden emotions to express, being recognised and eventually regulated.

The result is an empowered and intergraded sense of self, with broader emotional repertoire and internal security. The person is allowed to deal with reality with strength, flexibility, clarity and freedom of choice, and trust to the internal indicators. Flexibility and clarity will be decisive to emotional and physical resilience as it allows a person's strengths to actually be utilised through life's hills and valleys.

Self Discovery & Goal Setting

Although this part is inherent of psychotherapy it is more common to connect psychotherapy with problem solving.

Despite that idea, therapy is actually discovery and rearrangement enhanced with new skills.

Imagine that you are entering an old storage where you kept putting things for a long time. In therapy it's like having someone with you with a torch, shedding light on each of those things and helping you think on what to do with each one of them. After things are sorted, you have a new, arranged storage and you can decide how it can serve a better purpose from now on.

Any Mental Health OR Mood Disorder

If you believe that you have any mental health disorder or you have had a diagnosis, it is of great importance to start therapy.

You might be in medication, but with therapy you don't just try to feel better, you work on the issues and dysfunctional patterns which are contributing to the severity and of a mental health disorder.

Therapy helps to practically adjust your reality to your needs and provides support to broaden your options.

Mental health disorders lead to a very specific and narrow lifestyle that most of the times does not really serve the individual's needs. Thus the person stays in confinement, deprivation, with many negative feelings that have no way to be expressed and valued. This is the part that medication, however effective, cannot help.

Most importantly therapy helps to change the sense of self, from defective to able for a good and satisfying living.
