Personal Psychotherapy
These are the kind of fundamental questions we all ask ourselves from time to time and this questioning is a necessary prelude to our growth and development into responsible and loving adults. Often, as the pace of daily life overtakes us we lose the time to wonder until we start to feel that something is missing. We are doing a great deal but we have lost ourselves, our zest for life and a sense of delight in what we are doing. For many of us the situation has deteriorated into serious problems and we have become stressed, frustrated, depressed or even broken down.
The way we cope with our day to day life is largely a reflection of our inner state. In psychotherapy we explore our inner world; the way we think about ourselves and how this affects our sense of reality and feeling of well being. We look at the impact all this has had on our outer world, the way we lead our present life and how we would prefer to live it. We think about what motivates our essential energy in order to help us regain a feeling of fulfillment.
Integrative psychotherapy draws its theory from different therapeutic models working with the psyche and the body. My work includes looking at any physical symptoms presenting, such as headaches, stomach upsets, pains in the back, insomnia, breathing difficulties or other illnesses. Diet and exercise may be examined. All aspects of a person's background and beliefs are explored sensitively and considered.
You may need to work on these issues for an open ended period until you begin to feel better about yourself. Or, you may want to do a short term solution focused piece of work on a very specific problem. I usually start with an assessment session for us to discuss what would be appropriate for you.
