Who is it for? 

Psychotherapy is intended for people who:

  • Are experiencing emotional or psychological difficulties (e.g. anxiety, sadness, panic attacks)
    Give feedback
  • Are navigating a period of change or transition in their lives (e.g. loss, separation, or career changes)
  • Want to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the patterns that recur in their lives

  • Are interested in personal growth, even when they are not facing any particular difficultie

“How does it work?”

Psychotherapy is a journey that the client undertakes together with their therapist, with the aim of discovering new aspects of themselves and seeing life from a different perspective.
Along this journey, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Each person is unique, with their own experiences and needs, and the therapist adapts their techniques and tools accordingly.

A key part of the therapeutic process is creating a safe and trusting environment where people feel comfortable expressing even the most difficult aspects of themselves. The therapist listens, reflects, offers guidance, and, when appropriate, supports the client in making meaningful changes, creating space for personal growth and greater self-awareness.

“How can psychotherapy help?”

Psychotherapy offers a safe space for:

  • Understanding and working through traumatic experiences
  • Exploring emotions and patterns of thought
  • Developing new coping strategies for dealing with difficulties
  • Improving self-esteem and relationships
  • Strengthening emotional resilience
  • Personal development and self-awareness

It can lead to profound inner transformation, positively influencing every area of life.

The Role of the Therapist

The therapist is not an expert who provides ready-made solutions, but a companion on the client’s personal journey. They offer support and understanding, reflect the client’s inner experience, and introduce tools and alternative perspectives that can help them navigate and work through their difficulties.
The therapist creates a safe and supportive space where even the most difficult thoughts and feelings can be expressed openly, without fear of judgment. The relationship between therapist and client is one of the most important elements of the therapeutic process, built on trust, respect, and consistency.

Duration and Frequency

The length of the psychotherapeutic process varies depending on each client’s needs and goals.
Sessions typically take place once a week and last 50 minutes. The duration of therapy may vary from a few months to a longer-term process, depending on the individual’s needs and the depth of exploration and change they are seeking.

Psychotherapy: A Journey of Self-Discovery

Beyond addressing difficulties, psychotherapy can be a meaningful journey of self-discovery.
Through the therapeutic process, individuals can:

  • Gains awareness of their internal motives
  • Reframes significant past experiences and gives them new meaning
  • Develops a new way of relating to themselves and others
  • Paves the way for a more authentic and fulfilling life

Above all, psychotherapy is a deeply human journey of self-discovery.

Psychotherapy & Counseling... What's the Difference?

Psychotherapy is for people who are experiencing difficulties and want to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their experiences, and their relationships. Through an ongoing therapeutic process, they have the opportunity to explore patterns of thought and emotion, opening the way for meaningful and lasting change in their lives.

By contrast, counseling focuses on more immediate challenges that people may face in their everyday lives. It is suited to those who are looking for practical ways to address specific concerns, such as relationship communication, parenting challenges, or career development. It is typically a shorter-term process, focused on gaining clarity and finding practical ways forward.

Sometimes, people begin counseling to address a specific concern, but along the way, they discover a need to understand themselves and their experiences on a deeper level. This can lead them to continue with psychotherapy, allowing for a deeper exploration of their inner world and the possibility of meaningful change.
