Holistic Psychotherapy

Overview of Holistic Therapy:Holistic Therapy can help you make your life what you want it to be. Techniques are co-created and evolve from your needs, strengths and interests and is based on the principles of Psychosynthesis. Psychosynthesis has been described as "The psychology with a Soul". It deals with the whole person -- the physical, the emotional, the mental, and the spiritual. Psychosynthesis is a comprehensive approach to self-realization and the development of human potential. The essential aim of Psychosynthesis is to help people discover their true spiritual nature, then to effectively utilize this discovery in everyday life. Psychosynthesis helps us to realize our creative potential, increase our ability to function harmoniously in the modern world, and improve the quality of all our relationships, and to do what we want to do when we tune into our innermost sense of self and purpose. So Psychosynthesis is a kind of therapy, and it is a method of self improvement, but more than this, it is also a process that co-operates with the unfolding evolution of all nature. It aims to bring awareness, wholeness and connection to the process of evolution as it happens in each of us.” --excerpt from Self Growth
