Counselling Approaches

  • Anthroposophic Psychotherapy

    As human beings we have three primary aspects to our being: body, soul, and spirit. Each aspect interpenetrates, works with and influences the others. What distinguishes anthroposophic psychotherapy from conventional methods is the knowledge that the human being is a spiritual being, an “I” who is learning to control and guide its soul qualities of perception, thinking, feeling and willing. The soul connects with the body and acts upon it, yet is also influenced by it. The soul thus stands in an interactive relationship between body and spirit.

    The “I” is intended to develop self-aware and self-determined freedom. Various psychotherapeutic techniques are used to promote the self-efficacy of the individuality.

    In addition, anthroposophic psychotherapy takes into account the laws of body, soul and spirit, the course of the person’s life, the knowledge of life after death and life before birth , and specific psychosomatics regarding the interplay between body and soul, including the influence of the organs.

  • Sensorimotor Psychotherapy

    Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) is a therapeutic modality for trauma and attachment issues. SP welcomes the body as an integral source of information which can guide resourcing and the accessing and processing of challenging, traumatic, and developmental experience. SP is a holistic approach that includes somatic, emotional, and cognitive processing and integration.

    SP enables clients to discover and change habitual physical and psychological patterns that impede optimal functioning and well-being. SP is helpful in working with dysregulated activation and other effects of trauma, as well as the limiting belief systems of developmental issues.

    SP helps clients cultivate their strengths, while providing enough challenge to stimulate growth, long lasting change, and well-being.
