What is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is a collaborative process intended to help you explore your emotions and how they shape your daily life and relationships. It may touch on past experiences, childhood relationships or major landmarks in your life.
The psychodynamic model focuses particularly on formative experiences and relationships and how they may have influenced your worldview, coping mechanisms and the way you relate to other today.
Psychotherapy is person-centered - meaning that it puts you in control. You are your own expert; the intention is not to give advice or answers but to enable you to find your own truth.
How does it work?
Psychotherapy offers a private, supportive space where you can safely explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It’s a place to reflect on difficult emotions or painful memories — with the guidance of a qualified therapist — in a way that feels manageable and contained. The goal is to help you move toward the change or understanding you’re hoping for.
Therapy is not about "reliving" experiences. Even when talking about the past, you will always be working in the present; in how those experiences live in you now.
How long does it take? That depends entirely on you. Everyone’s process is different, and therapy can unfold at the pace that feels right for you.
Is it for me?
There's no such things as "too big" or "too small" in therapy; any issue you bring is treated with respect and in confidence; if you feel curious about yourself, it is for you. If you're struggling and need support — it’s for you. If you feel awkward or embarrassed talking about yourself, it is for you. Therapy may not be the right fit for everyone at every moment, but everyone is welcome.
