Imago Relationship Therapy London
Getting to the heart of the matter
Transpersonal Psychotherapy
This therapy is a rite of transformation, where the greatest healing occurs when we follow the path of our heart, the path of the soul. Psychotherapy literally means 'healing the soul', through the process of self-awareness, by instigating the recovery from within and developing our personal strengths and resources, by finding in ourselves the means we need to discover our own destiny.
The Transpersonal is taking the journey beyond, into our unconscious, into the collective unconscious and all that is; beyond our five senses and our cognition into the possibility to recognise the unrecognisable.
As a Transpersonal Psychotherapist, I provide a safe and confidential space for my clients so that they can explore their feelings concerning any problems and difficulties they experience; that they have a chance to look at obstacles as opportunities for growth and discover solutions are possible. They can change the way they feel i.e. turning depression, anxiety and stress into experiences of joy, love and happiness.
Counselling and Psychotherapy
The psychotherapeutic space facilitates non-judgmental containment and security, where you can explore and understand how you react to the world based on your early experiences in, and adaptive behaviours to, your family of origin.
And how these behaviours, which were appropriate then, may continue to influence your life today; you can verify if they still serve you in your present way of relating to your world or whether they keep you in a state of feeling small and powerless.
Psychotherapy encourages the process of growing up and learning how to parent yourself with love and empathy for yourself and your shortcomings, recognising the opposite of those shortcomings as the qualities you want to develop in yourself. When you realise your birthright is to be yourself - and yourself alone - then you can move into authenticity and empowerment, enabling you to feel safe in relational interactions and respond to others from a place of strength and autonomy.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a psychotherapy based on the work of US mental health pioneer Francine Shapiro Phd., who originated EMDR as an effective method for treating negative emotions resulting from traumatic memories or personality disorders.
The underlying principle is that we all have the inherent physiological ability to process information to a state of mental health and when this ability is activated by means of EMDR, the information is transmuted to a state of resolution.
The dysfunctional nature of traumatic memories allows negative effects and beliefs from the past to control present behaviour. By using the structured protocols of EMDR, such memories are reprocessed by neurophysiological associations leading spontaneously to more appropriate and beneficial behaviours.
