INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOTHERAPY

Life inevitably brings big changes, problematic situations, misunderstandings and stressful periods. Most of the time the resources to cope are there, and after adapting to the changes, life satisfaction and coping return. But if you feel that it has all become too much and, despite your efforts, you do not feel well, individual psychotherapy can help you find solutions.

When should you come to individual psychotherapy?

If the problem persists despite your own efforts to cope with it and talking with friends and loved ones.
If the life of your dreams differs significantly from reality and this causes depression.
If it seems that your mood or situation is no longer under your control.
If your mental health has started to cause concern – anxiety, depression, insomnia
If relationships do not work out and you feel lonely

What is worth knowing about individual psychotherapy?

Individual therapy is a process of looking inwards, analysing yourself and taking responsibility for change – change may not come quickly
Between therapy sessions you need to do homework so that change occurs and becomes established
I work from a family therapy perspective, which means I look at a person’s problems in the context of relationships and the family system

FAMILY THERAPY

A person’s satisfaction with their life is influenced by their experiences and relationships with other family members. Healthy and supportive family relationships give an advantage in living a happy and fulfilling life and being in trusting relationships.

Family therapy is a systemic therapy that looks at a family’s problems in the context of relationships – how the quality of relationships affects family members, their relationships with one another and their behaviour. Every family member is part of the family system and contributes to noticing and solving problems.

When should you come to family therapy?

If there is little cooperation, understanding, trust, listening, closeness and warmth between family members, and there is tension and misunderstanding, shouting, arguing, quarrels, confusion, unhappiness and sadness
If the current issues in the family are separation and blended families, trauma, illness or death, a family member working in another city or country, etc.
If you have started to worry about your children – problems with mental health, behaviour, controlling and managing emotions, learning and motivation

What is worth knowing about family therapy?

The whole family comes to a family therapy session, so that everyone can say how they see the situation in their family and what everyone’s responsibility and task could be for the relationships to become closer and better
The therapist’s main task is to guide family members to speak, see resources and create connections, so that the family begins to see the possibility of change more consciously and can offer its own solutions to its worries
It is possible that the whole family will not come to every meeting; instead, depending on need and how the topics develop, meetings can be planned with different family members
Learning new skills is part of therapy – how to behave and communicate so that closeness and cooperation last. For this reason you need to do homework between therapy sessions so that change occurs and becomes established

COUPLES THERAPY

A couple relationship is the most important and at the same time the most difficult relationship in the life of adults – the greatest developments of life, feelings of happiness and satisfaction, as well as hatred, disappointment and shattered hopes are connected with the couple relationship. People usually turn to couples therapy for one of two reasons: either wanting to improve and refresh the relationship with their current partner, or wanting to separate. In couples therapy, the partners’ communication skills are assessed and developed by discussing topics that are difficult or impossible to talk about at home. In this way an emotionally close contact and connection is created, and trust, passion and joy are restored.
Couples therapy suits both those who are only starting out on their shared journey, to prevent possible future difficulties, and those whose relationship has reached a dead end but who have not yet lost hope of saving it.

When should you come to couples therapy?

If there is a lot of tension in the relationship and conflicts keep recurring despite efforts to prevent them
If you are dissatisfied with yourself, your partner or your relationship
If you want to learn to really and deeply talk things through to the end with each other, and to listen to and understand one another to the end
If there is infidelity, cheating, jealousy or distrust in the relationship
If disagreements have arisen about raising children, sex life, leisure time, the future, etc.
If closeness and passion have disappeared and you have the feeling that you can no longer go on or no longer want to
If you have thought about separating and want help to do it as painlessly as possible and in a way that spares the children

What is worth knowing about couples therapy?

Couples therapy takes place on neutral ground for the partners and in a calm atmosphere – therapy is not guided quarrelling
The therapist does not take sides or pass judgement, but helps the couple discover for themselves the resources and possibilities for resolving the situation
Couples therapy requires the commitment of both partners and a wish to improve the relationship
Couples therapy is not possible if one or both partners have an affair that they do not wish to end, or secrets that damage the relationship
Between therapy sessions you need to do homework so that change occurs and becomes established
