Dorotea Pospihalj -Psychotherapist and counsellor
About me
Who am I as a therapist
I am trained as a relational psychotherapist and counsellor. My further professional development is in the field of psychoanalysis, where I am undergoing rigorous training and personal analysis.
It is about the relationship
The therapeutic process is a relationship where both parties are equally involved and put to work. This means that I will actively participate in your process of change, support you and maintain my curiosity.
Individual therapy
We would be focusing on developing a trusting relationship and look at your life, experiences, memories and desires from different points of view. Together we will create options you can choose from and ultimately live a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Whether you want to work on a specific problem or difficulty you are facing or explore more broadly, we would agree on the desired outcome and work toward it.
Couples counselling
Difficulties in partnership or marriage can be numerous. This is the space where you and your partner can freely explore the challenges of your relationship. My role is to help facilitate and improve communication, create an environment where both of you can feel heard and understood. Often couples come to therapy because they feel that some of their needs are not met, there is growing frustration and often a relational stalemate. I will help you get unstuck and grow the potentials for a meaningful and fulfilling relationship.
Drop me an email or a text and we can discuss these aspects more in detail.
Training, qualifications & experience
- MSc degree in Psychotherapy- Metanoia Institute and Middlesex University
- Psychotherapeutic counselling degree - Metanoia Institute
Areas that I feel particularly interested in is generalised anxiety and depression within our culture and the wider society. How we understand mental health and wellbeing.
I have experience working with young adults, individual adults or couples and I run therapeutic groups with various themes. I was fortunate to have worked with individuals from different cultures and nationalities, this allowed me to understand more deeply cultural and social beliefs that are sometimes creating pressure or conflicts.
Each experience thought me different aspects of what we call the talking cure. Through the work within the NHS talking therapies, counselling services, my private practice and collaboration with EAP services, offered the wealth of knowledge and ability to tailor my service to the specific needs and desires of each individual.
