How Humanistic Psychotherapy & Counselling Can Help

Often events in our family history can affect us in ways we are not fully aware of, especially if there have been tragedies not fully grieved, family members ostracized or ‘secrets’ held. We can hold unconscious entanglements with people from past or current generations, which inhibit our confidence or sense of entitlement to fully embrace life. Examples of common family systemic entanglements are: - Guilt about surviving where another or others have tragically died, shame about a family ‘secret’, a disabling sense of debt to those who have gone before.

Where appropriate, I will support you to explore this dimension, with the objective of you becoming free and empowered. In this aspect of my work, I use the knowledge & methods I developed in my training in Family Systems Therapy with the Hellinger Institute of Britain.

In our work together, I will encourage you to feel and experience the myriad facets & qualities of your being, which hold a wonderful potential for fulfilment, contentment and peace. Within Gestalt Psychotherapy there are a variety of routes for the creative exploration of who we are and our potential to live in ways we may not have previously considered. These can be exciting and deeply moving experiences.
