Short-term counselling and symptom-management approaches are available in this practice, and can provide relief from anxiety, stress, worry, distress and confusion when you are struggling.

The seeds of our suffering often lie forgotten in our early social conditioning, routine mistreatment, the false beliefs we form about ourselves and the world, and in our fears and traumas from as early as infancy. These origins emerge later in adulthood as deep and enduring insecurities, physical tensions and difficult feelings in the body, problematic behaviours like addictions and procrastination; internal mental conflicts, self-loathing and guilt, struggles with mood and depression, stress, phobias and addictions, relationship friction, and other types of inner suffering that can adversely impact our mental and physical health.

Psychotherapy in this practice involves working at deeper levels of your psyche, which can help you become more authentic, secure, confident, clear in your purpose, and honest with yourself. You can easily identify and understand the original causes of your struggles, and resolve them emotionally and energetically.

Medium- and longer-term depth psychotherapy is focussed on identifying and resolving the root causes of enduring problems, which offers you the opportunity to resolve long-standing issues; to form new habits, and more authentic ways of experiencing and living your life. Depth psychotherapy is:

• analytical: focussed on helping you to clarify and deepen your understanding of yourself

• somatic: focussed on your relationship to your body and what you are doing with your emotions

• trauma-informed: focussed on resolving unfinished business from your past that causes you pain or hardship in the present

• neurology-informed: focussed on understanding what you can do to support and heal your nervous system

• experiential: focussed on experiencing your life instead of turning everything into thoughts and words

• holistic: Existential Analysis and Integrative Psychotherapy encompass the childhood, family, workplace, social, political, economic, lifestyle, environmental, physiological, and spiritual contexts that produce our emotional and mental disturbance and suffering.

Psychotherapy in this practice offers a unique, multi-faceted approach that treats you as a whole person with a history, lifestyle, hopes and aspirations, rather than a collection of symptoms to be eliminated. This can include additional supports as standard, such as:

• detailed assessment at the start of our work, with a list of therapeutic tasks core to your needs and hopes for change

• tailored one-to-one yoga tuition: for helping you exist more in your body and less in your thoughts

• various forms of meditation and guided awareness practices: to help you build skills in controlling your mind instead of letting your mind control you

• art therapy: for individuals who find it easier to access emotions and experiences through images, music, movement etc

• specific protocols designed by this practice: for helping patients recover and heal their nervous systems and resolve conflicts within their psyche

• extensive resources and optional support between sessions when required
