Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is processes of helping a person explore their problems and worries in a non-judgemental and confidental setting. This involves looking at the past, early conditioning and ways of forming relationships.
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is an effective treatment for many emotional and relationship problems and seeks to understand the meaning of symptoms and patterns of behaviour. It seeks to address complex and deep seated distress, which leads to reducing symptoms and alleviating suffering.

Acupuncture is a medicine that can be helpful for the majority of people using it. The treatment range is so extensive that it is best to contact your acupuncturist and discuss your case individually, for guidance on treatment options and possibilities.
