What is a therapy?

Psychotherapy is first and foremost a relationship that is formed between a trained professional and a patient who wants assistance. The bond established is used to explore and understand the consultant's suffering, supported and made possible by the healthy and wholesome forces he/she carries within.

People request psychotherapy to treat many different types of complaints. To mention but a few:

• Sadness and apathy

• Feelings of emptiness

• Anxiety

• Recurring problems in the work place

• Recurring problems in close, personal relationships

• Difficulties with sexual intimacy

• Difficulties managing stress, fear, anger

• Problems related to adaptation following relocation

• Self-image, body-image, problems with weight

A successful psychotherapy should significantly diminish or eliminate many or most of the sufferer's complaints, and enhance his/her potential to enjoy life and work, and create rich and lasting bonds with others.
