Integrative and Humanistic Psychotherapy

I offer fixed-length intensive psychotherapy, from 12 sessions - 48 sessions depending on the presenting issues that you wish to explore and work on. The types of issues that may bring you into psychotherapy include:

• Problems with relationships

• A desire to develop a deep self-awareness

• A desire to work through painful experiences from the past, including trauma

• Loss and grief

• Emotional disturbance and distress

• Problems with eating and food

• Problems with work-compulsion and other work-related issues

Unlike coaching, psychotherapy requires weekly sessions of 60 minutes in length; this intensity enables us to travel further, and deeper, within your inner psyche to discover the unconscious dynamics and defensive systems that you have set up to manage your relationships and place in the world. It is a journey of exploration, with the hope and expectation of personal change that will result in a more enriching life. It is a therapeutic process, though which healing can be given to the places of inner pain and distress.

As well as this being a talking therapy, we may work with drawing and symbols, and use systemic constellations. I also use cognitive-behavioural therapy approaches where appropriate.
