Our method, based on humanistic psychology
Although for us each case is unique and different, the structure of the therapy is common. The phases of psychotherapy are very similar as methods of solving problems.
Establish a link
For the humanistic approach, two experts meet in the first sessions: the psychologist, who specializes in psychotherapeutic techniques, and the client, who specializes in their mental processes. A relationship of trust and security must be established between the two, so a space free of judgment or assessment is essential.
Mutual understanding will help us move forward.
Define the problem
it is not always clear what the specific problem is to be solved. All therapy participants must share a precise definition, so we’ll have you narrow down your thoughts, emotions, or situations until you know what needs to be addressed.
Explore solutions
By now, you’ve already tried to solve it on your own, and it didn’t work. We need to find creative solutions to make the change happen, so we’ll explore a few until you find the one that works best for you. From there, it’s a matter of implementing it and seeing if the results are what you want. Don’t worry if the first attempt doesn’t work; this process can be repeated as many times as necessary.
Consolidation
Our principles are based on humanistic psychology
Our therapeutic orientation is based on principles derived from humanist psychotherapy: we believe that the potential to solve psychological problems resides in every person. The blockages come from applying solutions that no longer work in new situations.
All psychological schools of thought agree on the importance of a good relational link between the therapist and the client. The empathy, the unconditional acceptance and the authenticity that Carl Rogers pointed out are our basic pillars to build a successful therapy.
Relational and constructivist perspective. People are not islands; they are part of a system of relationships. Understanding the context is essential for a proper approach to each case. We pay special attention to the individual’s communication, behavior, and relationship patterns in their specific environment and their particular perception of reality.
Psychotherapy based on evidence. We don’t use resources nor tecniques not enough consolidated. Actual psychotherapy converges towards a set of common practices, the effectiveness of which is recognized beyond the therapeutic school. We seek to obtain the best results by optimizing the number of sessions, using elements of cognitive, systemic, constructivist and humanistic therapies.
