What is psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is a therapeutic encounter unique in its manner because it combines an intimate conversation with a series of analytical techniques. The person brings thoughts, memories, ideas, dreams and fantasies. The therapist through her analysis helps to uncover and make sense of the conflicts causing distress.
In psychotherapy the person explores his/her inner-self in order to identify what is stopping him/her from living their life at its fullest potential.
What are the issues that can be worked out through psychotherapy?
Anxiety
Depression
Angst
Panic attacks
Self-esteem
Lack of motivation
Relationship problems
Gender orientation
Sex and sexuality
Trauma
Family dynamics
Communication problems
Migration and acculturation
These are an indication of the type of problems that can be successfully worked through.
How psychotherapy works:
The psychotherapeutic approach helps you to understand the difficulties that are preventing you from having a more enjoyable life by exploring the origin of those difficulties. By doing so it helps you to find a way to make life lasting changes.
Psychotherapy is absolutely private and confidential. It requires a number of regular sessions. The amount of sessions depends on each person’s needs. In a first free meeting we can explore together what are the best alternatives available for you.
