The most common form of psychotherapy/counseling is individual sessions. They usually take place once a week, sometimes more often, sometimes less, depending on the given situation. The center offers short and long-term therapy. Short-term therapy consists of a few sessions and focuses on a given problem or area of life, while long-term therapy lasts at least a couple of months and is aimed at gaining understanding and exploring many aspects of oneself.
Our therapists work within the Process Work paradigm, the main principle of which is trusting, unfolding and following the client’s individual experience (there are no other preconceived goals). Therefore the therapist’s task is not to define how somebody should change, but to help them discover their own paths and decisions.
In terms of looking for solutions, Process Work provides an exceptional perspective, as well as highly effective tools, for using to one’s benefit the information embedded in the difficulties and conflicts of any given situation.

All the information that clients share during their therapy, as well as the fact that someone is attending the sessions, are both confidential.
People of all ages, nationalities, religions, sexual orientations and physical ability are welcome.
