Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy provides a safe and confidential setting in
which to explore thoughts, worries, feelings, memories,
dreams and fantasies.
Throughout history the therapeutic relationship has taken
many forms. Its purpose has been not only to relieve
suffering but also to enable a person to achieve a deeper
self-understanding. In resolving past conflicts, a person
can begin to live more fully in the present and face the
future more creatively.
There are many different approaches to psychotherapy. I am
a trainee of the Association of Independent
Psychotherapists (AIP). AIP members work within the
psychoanalytic tradition, which seeks to understand the
unconscious origins of present difficulties. The pattern of
early life experience may be repeated in the relationship
with the therapist, something known as transference. AIP
members draw on the work of Jung, Freud, Klein, Winnicott
and others in helping their clients discover images and
words to express the meaning of life's journey.
Psychotherapy can help if:
• you
are depressed, anxious or stressed
• you want
to improve your relationships
• you suffer
from panic attacks
• you live
with eating disorders
• you have
experienced loss or bereavement
• you are
confused about your sexuality
• your life
seems to lack meaning
• you want
to develop your potential
• you suffer
from obsessional thoughts
• you feel
held back by inappropriate anger or lack of confidence
• you suffer
physical problems with no clear physical cause
