Dr Rita Squarza - UKCP Reg., UKATA, HIPC, EATA Member

Hello and welcome to my profile.

I am a qualified and sympathetically listening professional, providing an empathic, non-judgmental presence, and a confidential space, giving my clients the privilege to express who they truly are.

I have been working for 21 years to help adults to cope more effectively with life and relationship issues, and mental health problems, at every age and stage of life.

Practising in the centre of Leamington Spa and Stratford upon Avon, I offer Professional Counselling, short and long-term Integrative Psychotherapy, focused on Transactional Analysis, and body-oriented therapeutic treatments.

As a former dancer, I also joined my studies and passion for dance with the psychotherapeutic use of body movements as an implicit and expressive instrument of communication and expression of self. The relational process, in which my client/s and I are engaged, is an empathic and creative process, offering an alternative treatment for anxiety symptoms, depression, stress-related disorders, body image issues and other concerns.

Thanks to my cross-cultural experiences, and speaking three languages, I am culturally sensitive and I do like to work with diverse and multi-ethnic individuals. I am also interested in Cross-Cultural Psychology which is the study of similarities and differences in behaviour among individuals who have developed in different cultures.

WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU

I am passionate about supporting my clients through IBP (Integrative Body Psychotherapy) approach focused on Transactional Analysis because, first of all, I can see how they are engaged and fulfilled with the therapeutic sessions they have. Secondly, IBP is a unique, non-invasive body-mind approach that treats the whole person in a creative way, integrating many tools used in psychotherapy today, enabling me to do deeper and more meaningful work in less time with more lasting results.

I work together with my clients to address them on all levels of their being: body, emotion, mind and spirit, recognising that many psychological problems have immediate correlations in the body: anxiety and panic attacks, sexual or eating problems, overwhelming feelings or depression.

Whatever you may be struggling with, I will carefully lead you, step by step, to your personal innovation, identifying what is preventing you from getting what you really want, and how to take action to find your life balance and be happy.

- Gift yourself the opportunity to give your life an harmonious shape and joyful colours.

- Take your personal development to the next, creative level.

My specific areas of expertise include:

• Relationship issues;
• Low self-esteem and lack of self-confidence;
• Anxiety (e.g. generalized anxiety disorder, panic attacks, social anxiety);
• Depressive disorders (e.g. melancholia, antenatal and postnatal depression, dysthymia, bipolar disorder, seasonal affective disorder);
• Body image issues;
