PSYCHOTHERAPY
I work with various theoretical underpinnings including Attachment, Psychodynamic, Cognitive Analytical, Interpersonal and Humanistic perspectives.
Something about the way I work as a longer term psychotherapist:
- I work with the whole person, with your whole experience.
- I work with your character, meaning your deep habits that over time tend to repeat past patterns.
- I work with the therapeutic relationship based on the (partially true) idea that how you are in therapy is how you are in life.
- I work with your inner world, with the various parts to your personality
- I work with your unconscious, the deeper part of you that shapes you and (at times) works against you.
- I work with your identity, meaning your familial and cultural networks that you belong to and that shape you (whether you identify with them or battle against them)
- I work with processes that may be called 'Spiritual' in nature where this is called for.
In summary:
- I work with you as the subject and potential author of your own life, whether from a medical model perspective or a humanisitc one. Essentailly I work with the human condition.
- I work with you and your potential for a meaningful and fulfilled life, whatever your inner and outer reality.
WHO IS IT SUITABLE FOR ?
Anyone can benefit from psychotherapy, which often involves reflecting on our past lives, fully experiencing ourselves in the moment and contemplating our future. This can be true whether we use psychotherapy for personal growth, resolving complex trauma or anything in between. Please contact me if you would like to discuss this further.
WHAT DOES A SESSION LOOK LIKE ?
This will vary and is something that we will discuss early on, where we will agree on a way of working together. Sometimes this can change over time as our work and your process develops.
