Psychotherapy

Our approach, and how it can help.

What makes enlightn the right choice for you?

Why choose enlightn for online psychotherapy?

When we describe our approach as 'integrative,' we mean something very specific and always have our clients in mind. Unlike an eclectic mix of techniques, we weave together theories and practices that are designed to work in harmony. This ensures a consistent, coherent, and effective therapeutic journey focused on your unique relational and developmental needs.

All of our psychotherapists work within this Integrative framework, and all of them will bring their unique blends of experience and approach, leading to your unique psychotherapy relationship.

What this means for you:

  • A Coherent Path to Change:
    You won't experience a disjointed approach. Instead, you'll benefit from online psychotherapy that is thoughtfully constructed, providing a clear and consistent framework for understanding your challenges and fostering lasting change.

  • Deeper Self-Understanding:
    Together with your psychotherapist, you will be able to explore how your relationships and life experiences have shaped you, helping you gain profound insights into your patterns and potential.

  • Personalized Support:
    Our approach is not one-size-fits-all. It's designed to reflect your specific needs, ensuring that the therapy truly 'fits' you and supports your individual growth.

Humanistic Values:

Your Foundation for Healing and Growth

Underpinning every aspect of our work are core humanistic values that create a truly supportive and empowering therapeutic environment for you.

Our values mean that you can experience:

  • Unconditional Worth: You are inherently valued and respected, simply for being you. This creates a safe space where you can be authentic without fear of judgment.

  • Acceptance of Your Whole Self: We know that every person holds a spectrum of experiences and emotions. You'll find a non-judgmental space to explore all parts of yourself, fostering self-acceptance and integration.

  • Empowerment Through Choice: You have the innate capacity to make choices that shape your life. Online psychotherapy can help you recognize and harness this power, guiding you towards decisions that align with your true self.

  • Taking Charge of Your Journey: You are capable of taking responsibility for your path. We will support you in building self-reliance and agency, empowering you to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence.

  • Belief in Your Potential: You possess an incredible power to change and grow. Our approach is rooted in this belief, offering you hope and exploring ways to overcome obstacles and realize your fullest potential.

  • Holistic Understanding: We'll explore you as a complete individual, understanding how all aspects of your life – your thoughts, feelings, body, and environment – are interconnected and influence your well-being.

  • Openness to Your Unique Truth: Your experiences are complex and multifaceted. You'll find a space where we can explore your unique truth without simplistic answers, allowing for deeper understanding and resolution.
