A psychotherapeutic approach or a talking therapy, aims to solve problems concerning dysfunctional emotions, behaviors and cognitions through a goal-oriented, systematic procedure. Psychotherapy occurs within a structured encounter between a trained therapist and client(s). Because sensitive topics are often discussed during psychotherapy, therapists are expected to respect client or patient confidentiality.

Psychotherapists use a range of techniques to influence or persuade the client to adapt to clear thinking about their options; through experiential relationship building; dialogue, communication and adoption of behavior change strategies. Each is designed to increase awareness and the capacity for self observation, change behavior and cognition, and develop insight and empathy. A desired result enables the client (s) to view his choices of thought, feeling or action; to increase the sense of well-being and to better manage subjective discomfort or distress. Thus perception of reality is hopefully improved.

Counseling-based on Humanistic Psychology

Counselor through human interaction creates certain conditions in which the counselee is provoked into a journey of self-exploration leading to self-understanding leading to action, so that the counselee's perspective is now wider and is now able to realize the complete range of options available to grow his/her thinking and behavior, thus rising beyond the problem to a fuller, healthier and happier self.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis is a method where an individual is guided into an altered state of conscious awareness called 'hypnotic trance'. This experience is different for different people. Often, hypnosis is a pleasant state of deep inner calm and physical relaxation similar to yoga or meditation. There are no known records of anyone having been physically or mentally harmed as a direct result of hypnosis itself. It is utterly impossible for anyone to get 'stuck' in hypnosis.

Any therapy done in conjunction with hypnotic trance is referred to as Hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapists tend to use an integrative approach, which may combine verbal suggestion or visualization with 'analytic' psychotherapy techniques

Hypnotherapy specifically aids cessation of chronic habits such as smoking cigarettes, alcoholism, drug dependency, weight issue, etc. it also resolves panic/anxiety attacks, fears and phobias, improves concentration, tiredness, anger, depression or grief, builds confidence and self-esteem, improves sporting performance and lastly hypnotherapy enables the individual to obtain personal insight through identifying self limiting believes n thought patterns working in ones subconscious, releasing them thought various techniques to a healthier and happier you.

At your first session, you can expect to meet with your therapist for 60-75 minutes. During that time you will talk with your therapist about what prompted you to enter therapy. You can share on a level that feels comfortable for you. You can also expect to fill in a brief intake sheet that helps your therapist gain an understanding of who you are. It is through this discussion that you and your therapist will develop specific goals for your work together as well as decide the treatment approach.

There is no "yes" or "no" answer to this question. Each individual has the ability to heal ones self into total health. In our therapy, if it is our (client and the therapists) objective, we do try to release any block that you may have towards achieving your total health and that may result in healing of its physical manifestation.
However, we do not recommend discontinuation of any medical treatment being followed. All the modalities that we provide can work in conjunction with the existing medical treatment, our integrative approach will only aid in enabling you to maximize your own ability to heal and resort to healthy self.

Your future is what you make of it and so no one can predict it except yourself. Having stated this, we can surely identify where you are headed in your life with the given set of believes, attitudes and patterns and help you to establish what you can do to change your attitudes, believes and patterns in "now" that will lead you to harvesting your own maximum potential, enabling you to lead a content and happy life.
