Types of Therapy<br>

Psychotherapy is aimed at healing the psyche (soul) and the way we feel about ourselves. Sometimes it is necessary to heal childhood wounds so that we can be free from them and fnction better. It aimes to help a person understand himself better and understand why you behave in the way you do. It is also important to understand how behaviour affects or impacts on others. Through deeper understanding a person can change and thus help himself.

What happens in Therapy<br>

    During the first (intake) interview the patient and the therapist will evaluate the presenting problems. A mutual decision will be made about the type of therapy which will be most beneficial to particular case and what expectations the person has of the therapy.

    Regular sessions, at least once weekly, eill be scheduled until a point is reached where the person feels satisfied with his changes/progress.

    Fees and payments will be discussed.
