Relational Psychotherapy is an approach that focuses on the connection between self and other, situating a person’s difficulties within a larger interconnected web of relationships, i.e, personal, familial, communal and societal relationships. In this approach, relationships are understood to be the root of both personal difficulties and transformation and healing.
As a Relational Psychotherapist, my role is to gently walk beside you and to listen deeply to your innermost struggles. Together, through the building of our own therapeutic relationship, we will slowly uncover the complexity of your relationship to self and other. We will bear witness to your struggles for the purpose of gaining understanding, self-compassion, awareness and ultimately self-growth.
Relational Psychotherapy is best suited for individuals, couples and families who are experiencing chronic emotional, mental, relational or spiritual distress and who would like to engage in deeper therapeutic work to integrate aspects of their story long forgotten or disavowed due to shame, fear, despair or guilt.
Please note that entering into a course of psychotherapy treatment may bring forth challenging emotions, thoughts and behaviours.
