Psychotherapy is a process of self-healing which is achieved through the relationship that develops with the therapist (therapeutic relationship). The therapist provides the expertise and the emotional presence needed to guide the client in this process.

The therapeutic relationship creates the climate of trust and security required for the individual to open the door to their emotional world. Therefore, the choice of the therapist that suits you is of major importance for the success of this process.
With the aid of α skilled therapist, the client can see what lies beneath the surface – the non-obvious. They may explore unknown aspects of themselves, process experiences that have defined their personal development and discover the root causes of their issues of concern.
The processing of the material that emerges and its connection with the present, works therapeutically on the emotional, mental and physical level. It also brings about a reconstruction of the client’s personality and their attitude to life. The relationship that the person has with themselves is restored: self-esteem, self-respect, self-confidence. The deep self-awareness they acquire, make them much stronger persons, capable of dealing with adversities and daily problems in a much cooler and realistic way. Furthermore, it helps them have better relationships with other people.
Thus the person not only is exempt from the symptoms that brought them to treatment but also achieve a complete regeneration. They significantly improve the quality of their life and develop their capacity for joy and creativity.
Psychotherapy may be provided to adults, teenagers and children in an individual, family, couple, or group setting. Depending on the issues of concern, it may be short-term or long-term.
