Psychosynthesis is primarily a talking therapy, sharing commonalities with person-centred, humanistic and integrative styles of counselling. The focus is very much on gentle, empathic and compassionate enquiry, building up a sense of safety and trust within our relationship to facilitate the exploration of your life experience and the feelings and emotions that may arise in response. 

Psychosynthesis has its roots in psychoanalysis and pays attention to the unconscious, helping you to discover and learn about patterns, mindsets and beliefs that have developed in your life and which might be impacting on or limiting your life experience in the now. 

It is a psychology of hope, love and will, because it reaches towards the potential in each one of us. At the deepest level, it regards the problems and obstacles we encounter in our lives as meaningful and potentially transformative, and seeks to support the individual through their suffering whilst also guiding them on their personal journey towards uncovering what may emerge or evolve in response to their challenges. We cannot erase our history, but with the development of compassionate self-awareness, we can learn to work with our history, freeing us up to access our own inherent, soulful and unique potential for transformative growth, creativity and self expression.

Psychosynthesis is not a religion, but recognises and acknowledges a spiritual core, higher self or divinity, allowing you to explore your historical wounding as well as more existential enquiries - questions such as "Who am I in the universe?"
