Psychotherapy | Psychotherapy Brighton, Sussex

Georgina is nearing the end of her third year of a five-year training in Integrative and Transpersonal Counselling and Psychotherapy at the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education in London. She also volunteers as a counsellor for Brighton's CRI where she helps men and women with a range of issues who are dependent on drugs or alcohol using a short focused and CBT approach.

Georgina's training allows her to draw from every major psychotherapeutic method enabling her to engage with you on a deep and personal level. Integrative therapy embraces the concept that we are many things other than our mind alone and values the inter-relationship between the physical, emotional, spiritual and cognitive systems.

A large part of our day-to-day behaviour is governed by what Jung would call our Shadow. In therapy we aim to shine a torch on to our Shadow thus bringing our unconscious material into awareness. From this platform we can clearly see our engrained and troublesome patterns and with time we learn how to navigate around them. By stepping in to consciousness we also learn what we are lacking and which qualities we need to being us in to balance. A universal truth: with the right information and motivation change always happens.

Sessions can be short term and solution focused or can explore deeper issues including:

• inability to communicate your needs
• lack of trust in yourself and others
• relationship difficulties and breakdowns
• feeling depressed and hopeless as well as antenatal and postnatal depression
• early childhood issues and trauma
• loss of libido and sexual dysfunction
• limiting and unhelpful patterns of thought and behaviour including eating disorders, drug and alcohol dependency and obsessive compulsive disorder
• psychological, emotional, sexual and domestic abuse exploring meaning and purpose to your life
