Therapy & Supervision

Psychosynthesis therapy offers individuals and couples an opportunity to explore their problems, worries and hopes in a safe and confidential setting. It upholds the concept of holism with the philosophy that people have physical, mental and spiritual aspects to their being. The need to work with the whole person is therefore valued in this work.

What to expect as a therapy client:

1. The first session, which is offered free of charge, is an opportunity to decide whether you feel therapy is right for you.
   
   
2. Next, if both you and the therapist agree that therapy will be helpful, an agreement is made to decide the way forward. You will be offered six weekly sessions of 60 minutes.
   
   
3. After these six sessions are completed, there will be a review between you and the therapist.

What the therapist expects from you:

It is important that you attend all the sessions. Psychosynthesis therapy is most helpful when there is continuation of meetings on a weekly basis. This allows for the development of a therapeutic relationship based on confidentiality and trust.
