Holistic Psychotherapy
Practices | Methods
Holistic therapy theory posits that consciousness is an integration of mind, body, and spirit, not confined to any one aspect of the person. Practitioners of holistic psychotherapy, like myself, believe in viewing individuals as whole beings. We collaborate with clients to cultivate awareness of the connections between emotions, thoughts, physical sensations, and spiritual experiences. This holistic perspective fosters greater self-awareness, self-esteem, and self-acceptance.
Our strategy is based on trust and confidentiality, ensuring a safe space for clients to explore and grow. Our expertise in various coaching methodologies means we can tailor our approach to suit your unique needs.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach rooted in understanding the influence of unconscious processes on our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. At its core, psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences, including early childhood relationships and unresolved conflicts, shape our present-day emotions and relationships.
In psychodynamic psychotherapy, therapists help clients explore and make sense of unconscious patterns and dynamics that may be impacting their lives. By fostering insight into these underlying processes, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their motivations.
Psychodynamic therapists work with clients to navigate internal conflicts, develop healthier coping strategies, and build more satisfying relationships.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy is effective for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and unresolved trauma.
If you're seeking a therapy approach that delves into the deeper layers of your psyche and fosters meaningful change, psychodynamic psychotherapy may be the path towards greater self-awareness and emotional well-being.
Psychoanalytic Therapy
Psychoanalytic therapy is a comprehensive therapeutic approach that delves into the unconscious mind to understand and address deep-seated emotional and psychological issues. Developed by Sigmund Freud, psychoanalytic therapy focuses on uncovering unconscious patterns, conflicts, and desires that influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
In psychoanalytic therapy, therapists create a safe and supportive environment for clients to freely explore their thoughts, memories, and dreams. Through open-ended discussions and free association, clients gain insight into underlying factors contributing to their emotional distress or life challenges.
This therapy approach emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship and the role of the therapist as a neutral and empathic guide. Psychoanalytic therapists work collaboratively with clients to deepen self-understanding, enhance self-acceptance, and facilitate lasting change.
Psychoanalytic therapy is suitable for individuals experiencing a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and unresolved trauma.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a widely recognised and evidence-based approach to psychotherapy that focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. CBT is rooted in the understanding that our thoughts and beliefs influence how we feel and act, and by changing negative thought patterns, we can transform our emotional responses and behaviours.
The core principles of CBT include cognitive restructuring, which involves replacing negative or irrational thoughts with more balanced and realistic ones, and behavioural techniques such as exposure therapy and behavioural activation.
CBT is effective for treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, depression, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is also used to address relationship issues, chronic pain, and substance use disorders.
By learning to identify and change cognitive distortions and maladaptive behaviours, individuals can experience significant improvements in their emotional well-being and overall quality of life. If you're seeking practical tools to manage stress, overcome obstacles, and enhance resilience, CBT may be a valuable therapeutic approach for you.
