Individual Therapy My approach is to bring together the things that are happening in the person's life with what's happening between us in the room - and to look at these aspects in parallel. I build upon my experience in both dramatherapy and gestalt psychotherapy to do this. It's common to feel ourselves to be the main players in our lives, and others the main players in theirs. Sometimes we might feel that we're not being very real - wondering how we can manage to match up how we are on the inside with the personality (or front) we feel we often portray. Every relationship, meeting and conversation has the potential to be an improvised dance between two people who don't know which step they'll be taking next. However, sometimes our relating evolves into fixed patterns and we follow them rigidly like characters sticking to a script. Lived this way life can come to feel stale and meaningless. At worst, mental health problems may emerge. In Individual Therapy we can experiment with changing these patterns. By focusing on what is (at its most fundamental and profound) happening between us in the session, we can raise our awareness of what happens elsewhere too. And, through experimenting in a context of heightened awareness and support, the improvised relating between therapist and client will bring about change. |
