The three main components that are dealt with during psychotherapy are: feelings or emotions, thoughts and behaviours. The therapy offered here is based on the principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy. Those therapy techniques have sound empirical bases and have been shown to be extremely effective when dealing with all kinds of problems and conditions. It is also possible to receive psychological assessment, which is done using standard tests and assessment tools. Various issues may be addressed and dealt with, such as psychological resilience, aftermath of traumatic events, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Developments Disorders, and many others.

One of the beliefs is that if you yourself learn to be self-compassionate, self-respectful, and empathetic to others and self you will be able to lead your life in a more fulfilling and satisfying way. The practice specializes in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as well as Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy for adults (above 18 years old). A mixture of various approaches may be employed in therapy sessions depending on the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective therapeutic approaches. CBT comes as a combination of behavior therapy that promotes behavioral changes and interventions and cognitive therapy that concentrates of the way people think about themselves and situations in their life. The theory supposes that the way we think influences how we feel and that causes us to act in a certain way. Therefore, if one is suffering from various types of problems, it is their thinking patterns and behaviours that are tackled in therapy. CBT is a directive therapy where the client and the therapist interact and work together towards a common goal. CBT works very well for people who have a certain problem/s (like a phobia, anxiety problems, obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, etc.). CBT is usually relatively short and may last from several sessions to several months. Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (STDP) Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (STDP) is a form of therapy that draws on attachment theory and the theory of defenses developed by Freud. Expressing emotions and getting in touch with one’s feelings is beneficial to the individual; being aware of one’s defense mechanisms makes us aware of what it is exactly that causes us to feel certain way and to understand more our behavior. STDP has also been found to be very effective in all types of disorders and problems people might be experiencing. Unresolved issues from one’s childhood and adulthood alike are addressed. Whereas CBT concentrates on thoughts and behaviors, STDP focuses on affects. Internet counselling is based on the same theories as face-to-face psychotherapy but is done through the use of electronic mail. This is a good option for individuals who do not have time to make the necessary time travel to the therapist, who travel a lot or their work hours do not allow for the face-to-face therapy. People with physical disabilities or impairments, such as hearing impairment, may also find Internet counselling a preferred choice. It also costs less than face-to-face therapy. Internet counselling consists of e-mail exchanges between the client and the therapist. The client will send the first email and the therapist will respond with a 1 or 2 page response (depending on what the client chooses). One session in Internet counselling is a 1 page or 2 pages long e-mail response. The cost of the Internet counselling is: * 30 euros for 1 page long response or * 45 euros for 2 pages long response Internet Counselling, however, is not suitable for everyone. Only adults can participate in Internet counselling. Also those who are experiencing serious problems such as major depression should seek face-to-face therapy.
