What drives us... is the desire to become more and more who we are, to become all that we are capable of being.
Abraham Maslow
Your life history is unique, and the way you have dealt with each event throughout your life has contributed to the construction of your identity and the ways in which you perceive and respond to experiences.
The present moment offers you opportunities for revision, consolidation, integration, and reconstruction.
Psychological support can assist these processes more effectively than when done independently, facilitating and ordering them, in order to create broader and more integrative frameworks for your experiences, clarify directions and foster alternative ways of dealing with challenges.
When we feel blocked or overcome by fatigue, psychological support can help.

Although without clearly defined boundaries, psychological counselling tends to focus on more transient aspects, specific problems for which help is needed. The need for personal change is limited, because it focuses on a particular area where the difficulty arises. This may include burnout syndrome or other transient adjustment difficulties (relational, work-related, parenting, cultural adaptation and integration).
Psychotherapy encompasses the meanings constructed throughout life, the emotional processing strategies we develop, and the memories of past experiences that have shaped how we experience ourselves and the world around us (what we feel, think, and intuit). This includes a tendency to suffer from melancholy, anxiety, or anger; difficulty regulating behaviour and/or emotions; and difficulties originated in isolated or repeated traumatic experiences over time (during childhood, or within an intimate or work relationship).
Both promote self-knowledge and self-acceptance, and the development of skills to deal with the challenges of the present. Feeling at home with oneself enables one to act purposefully and exercise the freedom to select preferred contexts or take an active stance in changing them.
