Individual consultations
Individual consultations are designed to work with people who have problems related to personality growth and adaptation, as well as neurotic or stress-related disorders. During the consultation, the client/patient's current problem is clarified, the circumstances of their occurrence and the client/patient's personality traits that affect the development and dynamics of the problem are investigated. This is multi-level work with the client/patient's feelings, thoughts and behavior, covering his/her past experience, present and future. The goal of the consultation is to develop a strategy for solving the problems.
Couple consultations
Couple consultations are designed to help partners better understand and accept the other's views and feelings, learn to listen to each other, resolve mutual conflicts, accept the other person as an independent personality with their own, often different, needs. Longer-term couples therapy is possible, during which both partners' emotions, motives for action, relationship characteristics and nuances in both partners' families that affect the current relationship in the couple are understood in more depth.
Consultations for parents
Parental counseling is designed to help parents better understand their child, improve relationships, understand their age-appropriate needs and abilities, resolve communication difficulties, and develop a future strategy for maintaining healthy relationships.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy
The goal of psychotherapy is the treatment of distress-related disorders, which is provided by reducing suffering, correcting maladaptive habits, conflicts, and attitudes.
The psychodynamic approach recognizes the existence of unconscious intrapsychic conflicts, helps the individual discover, understand, and express feelings, motivations, and desires, especially unconscious ones. This method is aimed at uncovering the content of the unconscious in order to reduce the client/patient's psychological tension and improve the functioning of the personality. It often analyzes current events in the client/patient's life and their connection with past experiences. If the main goal of therapy is significant and lasting changes in the client/patient's personality, therapy could last for several years, with the psychotherapist and the client/patient meeting once a week. However, if a current life problem or acute crisis is being addressed, therapy may be short-term (ten to twenty sessions). Usually, the therapist and the client/patient, upon starting cooperation, enter into an agreement on the goals and duration of therapy, and this is adhered to during therapy.
Psychodynamic therapy is effective for a wide range of problems: relationship problems, self-realization problems, existential crisis, anxiety, neurotic and stress-related disorders, depression, burnout syndrome, psychosomatic disorders.
Psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis is the deepest and most intensive psychotherapy, it is aimed at a complete analysis of the client/patient's personality and experience, therefore the work lasts for many years, with the psychoanalyst and the client/patient meeting 3-5 times a week. This method is suitable for people with a great interest in their inner world and its conflicts. Psychoanalysis studies the subconscious and conscious, drives, conflicts, feelings, psychic defense mechanisms, dreams, human relationships with others and with oneself.
Gestalt Therapy
A Gestalt therapist acts using a multidimensional productive approach, taking into account both the physical, emotional, rational, social, and spiritual dimensions of a person not only separately, but also their interaction, offering their analysis and also a global synthetic vision, the aim of which is to clarify more “How it works now” than “Why it works exactly like that”. The emphasis on direct experience and action provides a perspective of growth and development, and the Gestalt therapist uses the client’s behavior as a basis to make him aware of his inner creative potential and to promote the flourishing of this potential.
Is psychotherapy necessary?
Can a psychotherapist help?
Is psychotherapy only for "people with a weak character who cannot control themselves"?
Psychotherapy is needed not only when obvious and tragic misfortunes occur that people are overcome with confusion and despair. A psychotherapist can also help when a person cannot understand why they feel bad on their own.
Psychotherapy is intended for many, because many of us grow up... fed, clothed, graduating from school and university, but still remaining misunderstood and unfelt. If it has happened that even the closest people in childhood - for various reasons - have not managed to feel and understand us deeply enough, then it is not only sad. It is also a little dangerous, because nothing can come from nothing. Then we feel alien, incomprehensible or uninteresting to ourselves, and are unable to really take care of ourselves when life becomes difficult or complicated.
Life demands more and more independence and initiative. It is impossible to instill this only with lessons, training and the struggle for success. To be independent, one must be able to nurture oneself with interest. This is how parents who truly love their children, and not just their children's successes, look at their children.
Psychotherapy is intended for all those who have decided to become more sensitive parents for themselves, and perhaps also better parents for their children!
