Transpersonal Psychotherapy
Therapist: Elizabeth Appanna

“Psychotherapy” literally means “mind healing”. Psychotherapy is a relationship in which the therapist works with clients to help them understand themselves, their lives and their difficulties more clearly. While many perspectives have emerged in the field of Psychotherapy in the 20th Century it is possible to identify four major viewpoints: the psychoanalytic, the behaviourist, the humanistic and the transpersonal.

Transpersonal Psychotherapy can help clients in the same way as any other type of therapy, as it encompasses the understanding and methods of the earlier orientations. In addition the transpersonal approach works with the client to help them (re)discover their spirit, and to experience the deep essential core of themselves – who they really are.

Transpersonal psychology believes that behind the masks, culturally conditioned beliefs and roles of each individual lies a deeper state of being that transcends individual identities, and that the individualised self or persona is only one manifestation of this deeper Self. Transpersonal counselling and psychotherapy works on the fundamental principle of building and expanding on people's strengths or 'qualities'.

There are many problems that can be helped by transpersonal psychotherapy. Some of these include Depression, Relationship difficulties, Low self esteem, Anger management, Bereavement, Loss and grief, Addictions and Abuse.
