SERVICES
Psychotherapy Services
Therapy is offered for individuals, couples and families. The approach used is developed from several sources with Hakomi and Transactional Analysis being the primary influences.

What is Hakomi?
Much more than a method or set of techniques, Hakomi Experiential Psychotherapy is a way of looking at the world that is compassionate, mindful, curious, non-invasive, humorous and respectful.

Hakomi has a distinctive approach to body-inclusive psychotherapy developed in the USA by therapist and author Ron Kurtz and members of his training staff.

Since its inception, the work has continued to grow and evolve, absorbing diverse influences while remaining within its guiding principles.

What is Transactional Analysis?
TA is a theory of personality and a systematic psychotherapy for personal growth and personal change.

• As a theory of personality, TA describes how people are structured psychologically. It uses what is perhaps its best known model, the ego-state (Parent-Adult-Child) model to do this. This same model helps understand how people function and express themselves in their behaviour.
  
  
• As a theory of communication it extends to a method of analysing systems and organisations.
  
  
• It offers a theory for child development.
  
  
• It introduces the idea of a "Life (or Childhood) Script", that is, a story one perceives about one’s own life, to answer questions such as "What matters", "How do I get along in life" and "What kind of person am I". This story, TA says, is often stuck to no matter the consequences, to "prove" one is right, even at the cost of pain, compulsion, self-defeating behaviour and other dysfunction. Thus TA offers a theory of a broad range of psychopathology.
  
  
• In practical application, it can be used in the diagnosis and treatment of many types of psychological disorders, and provides a method of therapy for individuals, couples, families and groups.
  
  
• Outside the therapeutic field, it has been used in education, to help teachers remain in clear communication at an appropriate level, in counseling and consultancy, in management and communications training, and by other bodies.
