General information

Communication is Key!

Would you agree that life is all about relationships? Our whole world is based on the relationships we have with our families, friends, employers and teachers, carers. Nothing is more important for having a happy life than being a member in healthy, functional relationships. If you agree, then we are on the same page!

Would you also agree that relationships are made of communication, both verbal and non-verbal? There is nothing in a relationship except for communication. Even love, trust, care and respect only exist in a relationship as far as they are communicated through words and behaviours.

Therefore, if our world is made of relationships, and relationships are made of communication, then there is nothing more important in life than being an effective communicator.

Interactional Psychotherapy helps people alleviate symptoms and problems in living by facilitating more effective communication and thereby more effective, sustainable, and satisfying relationships.

nteractional Psychotherapy focuses on communication and how ineffective patterns of communication can result in a person experiencing symptoms that can be described as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, addiction and so forth. By helping people be more effective in their communication, interactional psychotherapy helps people build healthy and sustainable relationships.

Instead of focusing on what happens inside a person's mind (like traditional forms of psychotherapy), which is a hypothesis at best, interactional psychotherapy uses tangible, describable, clear observations of communication to assist clients. This is a scientific and systematic form of psychotherapy that yields long-term changes in fewer sessions than might be necessary for traditional psychotherapy.

Interactional Psychotherapy maintains that all people are inherently good, and have inherent potential to self-actualise, but experience distress when their ineffective coping mechanisms result in problems in living. Interactional Psychotherapy is aimed to be relatively short-term, the therapist's endeavour is to "put herself out of business" by faciliating clients to no longer need therapy. Even the biggest, strongest 4 x 4 can get stuck in a sand dune, and it is the aim of therapy to give the vehicle a tow out of the stuckess so that it can continue on its path, unhindered. '
