To use a metaphor, when we’re drowning in our problems, psychotherapy can give us the tools to stay afloat. Depth psychotherapy, on the other hand, looks at the reasons why we are in the water and why we haven’t yet learned to swim. Ultimately, depth psychotherapy teaches us to swim. Depth psychotherapy is a highly specialised service.

The therapist also receives many years of individual therapy and analysis to ensure they’re able to provide the appropriate ʽspace’ for their patient’s process. Depth psychotherapy is not for the faint hearted, but it is an incredibly rewarding journey.
