Individual psychotherapy focuses on the individual and the patterns of interaction that may be underlying their sadness, isolation, irritability or other symptoms of psychological distress. Therapy is a collaborative process that takes place in a supportive and non-judgemental environment. The client is given the chance to explore, rehearse and cement more effective behaviours in order to engage in more fulfilling relationships outside of the therapeutic context.
Although the duration of the therapeutic process depends on the intricacy of an individual’s situation, the use of an integrative interactional approach implies tangible results throughout the process.
