| You are here: Home >> About Us | | | | About Us | | The Personal Counselling & Psychotherapy Centre is home to a team of Psychotherapists whose work is united by respect for Humanistic Values. We believe that each person is engaged in a unique journey through life, searching for meaning and purpose in their life. If there has been childhood trauma or dysfunction in the family system then people can find it difficult to face life’s challenges. Therefore they may feel depressed, anxious, upset and unable to cope. | | | | | Psychotherapy is about addressing these difficulties and working toward meaningful change. Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy embraces an attitude towards the practice of psychotherapy that affirms the inherent value of each individual. | | | | The term "integrative" of Integrative Psychotherapy has a number of meanings. It refers to the process of integrating the personality: taking disowned, unaware, or unresolved aspects of the self and making them part of a cohesive personality, reducing the use of defence mechanisms that inhibit spontaneity and limit flexibility in problem solving, health maintenance, and relating to people, and re-engaging the world with full contact. It is the process of making whole. Through integration, it becomes possible for people to face each moment openly and freshly without the protection of a pre-formed opinion, position, attitude, or expectation. | | | | In the Personal Counselling & Psychotherapy Centre we deeply respect people’s autonomy, orientation, aims, psychologically processes and lifestyles. |
|
| | | Even though painful feelings may need to be worked through and integrated through the sessions; our overall belief is that Psychotherapy is about progression NOT regression. We offer Individual, Group and Couple Therapy, Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy, C.B.T., Addiction Therapy and Psychotherapy Training.
