The word Psychotherapy comes from the Ancient Greek words psyche, meaning breath, spirit, or soul. Therapy means to nurse, heal or cure. It is defined as the relief of distress or disability in one person by another, using an approach based on a particular theory or paradigm, in this case analytical, and that the agent performing the therapy has had some form of extensive training in delivering this. It is these latter two points which distinguish analytical psychotherapy from other forms of counselling or coaching.

Carl Jung, the founder of Analytical Psychology emphasized the importance of balance and harmony in a person's life. He considered the process of Individuation necessary for a person to become whole. This is a psychological process of integrating the conscious with the unconscious while still maintaining conscious autonomy.

Individuation is the central concept & aim of Analytical Psychology.

Analytical Psychotherapy encourages the verbalization of all the patient's thoughts, including free associations, fantasies, and dreams, from which the analyst formulates the nature of the unconscious conflicts which are causing the patient's symptoms relationship and character problems.

It is all about enjoying the journey instead of racing through life. It is okay to get things wrong and do things badly so you can learn to do it better each time.

"All spiritual development comes from within the individual, arising from discipline and self-improvement. No man can increase the spirituality of another. To attempt to do so is to disregard one of the most fundamental laws of nature i.e. the law of Karma. Man earns wisdom by right thought and right action. The legitimate schools of the ancient wisdom and the legitimate teachers of the doctrine offer spirituality to no one. They merely indicate a path of action, which, if followed with consecration and intelligence over a long period of years, will result in certain improvement of character and knowledge." By Manly P. Hall: "Words to the Wise".

When you have problems or are in distress it can help to talk to somebody who is not involved with you or your life. You will need someone who can be objective & who will throw light on your situation. As your therapist, I will not tell you what to do nor give you advice, but I will help you explore & reflect on your experiences that will open up choices for you, so you can make up your own mind successfully & you will gain understanding & insight.

Eventually through your therapy & living experiences, a totally new understanding of the nature of the Cosmos & its ways will be revealed to you. You will be able to make appropriate & creative choices that will enhance all your relationships, & you will achieve a harmonious & balanced relationship with Life.
