Psychotherapy

Also known as talk therapy, psychotherapy seeks to help a person understand their feelings and equip them to face new challenges, both in the present and the future.

Psychotherapy is similar to counselling, and the two can overlap. However, the Psychotherapy tends to look more deeply, addressing the underlying causes of a person's problems as well as how to solve them.

To see positive results, a person will usually need to understand the need for change and be willing to follow the treatment plan and commit to ongoing intervention for around 6 - 24 months.

Psychotherapy can help when depression, low self-esteem, addiction, bereavement, or other factors leave a person feeling overwhelmed. It can also help treat bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and certain other mental health conditions.


Family Therapy - or to give it its full title, Family and Systemic Psychotherapy

Family Therapy aims to be:

  • Inclusive and considerate of the needs of each member of the family and/or other key relationships (systems) in people's lives
  • Recognise and build on peoples' strengths and relational resources
  • Work in partnership 'with' families and others, not 'on' them
  • Sensitive to diverse family forms and relationships, beliefs and cultures
  • Enable people to talk, together or individually, often about difficult or distressing issues, in ways that respect their experiences, invite engagement and support recovery.

Sand Play Therapy 

Sandplay therapy is a recognised therapeutic modality for both children and adults, based on the psychology of C.G. Jung. It is particularly useful for identifying and reconciling internal conflicts that manifest as anxiety and depression, as well as penetrating the depths of personality to experience the Self directly. Sandplay therapy establishes a safe and protected space, where the complexities of the inner world are explored and integrated into the psyche for emotional healing. 

The feedback that we get from those who allow themselves to engage in this therapy is just how powerful and freeing it is for them.
