Safe relationship is the key to healing attachment wounds

Depth Psychotherapy uses the relationship with your therapist as a vehicle to rediscovering yourself and healing from the past. The therapist is there to create a compassionate and safe container with appropriate care and boundaries for your inner child to engage with and move into. It’s the quality of this connection that largely determines the effectiveness of the therapy. This type of safe connection can’t be built overnight and is a key part of the therapy. Initially you as the client will enter into the relationship with the therapist with the same fears and relational defences that you enter into all relationships, it is the working through and updating these relational defences that allow you to reshape how you see others, yourself and the world. As your inner child learns to relax into the relationship with the therapist this will send signals to your nervous system that this is a safe space. Each time this sense of safety occurs, new neural pathways are formed in your brain, literally rewiring your mind, body and nervous system for safety.

Therapy helps you with a range of difficulties

Therapy can be used to address a wide range of mental health difficulties, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and low self-esteem. Throughout the therapy process, I provide clarity, empathy, and non-judgmental support. We’ll explore your emotions, identify patterns of thinking and behavior, challenge negative beliefs, and develop healthier coping strategies. I may also help and support you with communication and problem-solving or offer guidance for personal development and self-care.

It starts with a commitment to yourself

Psychotherapy is a dynamic and ongoing process. It can be short-term, focusing on specific issues, or long-term, providing ongoing support, inner transformation and personal growth. The duration and frequency of sessions depends on your needs and progress.

Ultimately, therapy offers a confidential and compassionate space where you can work towards understanding yourself better, improve your mental health, discover self compassion and increase your quality of life.
