Psychotherapy
We offer client centred, integrative transpersonal psychotherapy for clients based in London and Hertfordshire.
Psychotherapy is a talking type therapy which takes place on a one to one basis, in a safe, calm, relaxed environment.
What is Psychotherapy?
In psychotherapy a person talks through their difficulties with a psychotherapist. This is one of the simplest and most effective forms of therapy. This type of approach is therapeutic for a number of reasons. It helps externalise a difficulty allowing space between you and the difficulty which you might be having.
When a therapist reflects back to a client from an objective viewpoint it enables a client to really see themselves. The realm of change and new possibility opens. One can start to challenge one's own way of being as opposed to believing that things are just the way they are. Understanding why a person feels the way they do is often influenced by the unconscious. Psychotherapy makes the unconscious, conscious meaning there is the possibility of change.
A psychotherapist can help to plant a metaphorical seed and help a person to nurture that seed into full bloom. What was once perceived as a weakness becomes a strength. The development and rebalancing of qualities enables self empowerment and the ability to find meaning in life. What was once a grey bleak winter landscape begins to develop colour. Buds begin to open and growth has begun. With the right therapeutic relationship the once winter landscape develops into a blossoming mezze of colour.

Psychotherapy Benefits
Authenticity
Psychotherapy can help you connect with your true nature and become more authentic. This means that there is more congruency between your true self and the persona you present to the world.
Clear Thinking
Psychotherapy can help to calm down our thinking as we develop other qualities in order to mediate difficulties we come across in our daily lives.
Balance
Once you get to the root of the difficulties and you have the chance to process them in a safe environment you are able to feel more in balance. You can reach a state of homeostasis.
Contentment
When we discover and accept who we are through a psychotherapeutic process we are able to feel more accepting of ourselves. This enables us to accept where we are and make the changes we might need to make for a better future.

How Long Does Psychotherapy Last?
Psychotherapy takes time and a commitment to therapy and yourself. Psychotherapy helps support you through your process. This process varies from person to person and takes a different amount of time for each person. How long psychotherapy lasts also depends on what difficulties you have and your readiness to process these difficulties.
