Counselling and Psychotherapy in Edinburgh & Online
Psychosynthesis is a form of counselling and psychotherapy that both has its own perspective on the challenges of being human in this world and draws upon a range of different approaches from other modalities. Psychosynthesis offers a truly integrative approach that includes all the layers of our humanity. It can be used flexibly, for example, offering a confidential space where you can feel seen, heard and supported as you move through challenging life stages such as grief and loss and times of stress. We can also explore what is holding you back in your life so that you can live more fully in the present. This can include the impact of past experiences and how you might be using old coping strategies that are no longer serving you.
Alongside our dialogue together, I might offer certain exercises and techniques, for example, identifying and working with parts that get activated in various situations, visualisations, creative imagination, drawing and meditation. I can also include somatic exercises as required. Whilst offering a grounded and deeply practical component, Psychosynthesis also makes room for and can draw upon a connection to something larger than ourselves, in whatever way you might be holding that for yourself.
