Individual Psychological Counseling

Adult individual psychological counseling is a process where the client and the psychologist work together in personalized, one-on-one conversations to understand and address the client's emotional and mental challenges. The goal of counseling is to help clients uncover the factors affecting their current life situation, enabling them to embrace new perspectives in handling their situations, discover and build their mental resources, and apply them. Counseling allows the client to discuss challenges in a safe and supportive environment where there is no judgment or pressure. During individual counseling, clients can develop skills that aid in navigating daily life with ease, improving mental health, and deepening self-awareness. The therapeutic relationship is based on trust and one of its greatest values is that it provides individual attention and support.

 Couples Therapy

Today, many of us encounter various relationship issues – such as commitment difficulties, communication problems, differing life goals, challenges in having children, infidelity, dependency on the relationship – even though relationship issues likely have been unavoidable all along. It's a very difficult task to align the values, mindset, and habits of two different people, and then for years or decades preserve the created unity. In different relationship phases, there may be a need for an external, objective observer who can bridge the gap between two people's different perspectives. This is what couples therapy is for, a psychotherapeutic tool that helps understand the past of the dynamics between the parties, organize the present, and create a more adaptive, comfortable future. Couples therapy can be led by a single expert, but you may often encounter dual-led formats as well, aiming to balance the number of participants, as both partners must always be present in couple therapy.

 Family Therapy

Family therapy is a psychotherapeutic approach where family members participate together and aim to improve family relationships, strengthen communication, resolve conflicts, and bring to light deeper underlying dynamic blocks. The therapy focuses on the family system, examining the interactions among family members, and you may also encounter individual (one expert) and dual-led (two experts) formats.

It can be very helpful if the family is facing:

• mental illness (obsessiveness, phobias, depression, personality disorders, etc.)

• addiction

• eating disorders (often adolescents)

• divorce, remarriage, formation of stepfamilies

• death, grief

• crisis situations, prolonged stress

• illness

• parenting difficulties

• learning difficulties

• communication problems

• trauma (e.g., sexual abuse, etc.)

The goal of therapy is for family members to learn to collaborate more effectively, communicate better, and be capable of working together to strengthen their relationships. The psychologist(s) can help recognize family patterns that cause problems and offer strategies that support change.
