We have an underlying ethos of ‘person-centeredness’. This means that we see the importance of finding you a therapist that you feel comfortable working with and who can best meet your needs.
Below is a brief introduction to my colleagues:
Kevin Murphy - psychoanalytic psychotherapist
I work with the entire spectrum
of issues that tend to hold people back from reaching their full potential
and living the lives they want to live. These include stress, depression/post
natal depression, anxiety, addictions, phobias, compulsive disorders
and negative thinking. My approach is Psychoanalytical which means the
therapy takes place in the form of a one-to-one dialogue that focuses
on the client’s spoken interpretation of their lived experience. It
does so in a confidential, non-directive and non-judgemental way.
Speaking out the story helps reveal the troublesome aspects of a client's life that are due to repeated patterns of behaviour which, on the face of it, appear to have little or no connection with their day-to-day thinking. In this way, clients are brought to a fuller understanding of the "ideas" surrounding the unconscious motivations at work in their lives. It is of particular relevance for those working in the corporate world where individual performance is continually assessed and where issues of competition, reward, self-worth, motivation and realisable ambition add an extra layer of pressure. It involves one session per week lasting 60 minutes and it takes place at the same time and at the same venue. For some, treatment is relatively short-lived and is completed in a matter of months. Others choose to remain in psychoanalysis for longer than this.
