EXPERIENCE OF RELATIONSHIP THERAPY

“My psychotherapist has given me tools to help myself. I will forever be in awe of her big heart, intelligence, intuition, and compassion. She was such an important example to me of radical, self-love, ‘discipline and discernment' (possibly my favourite take-away from our sessions) and what happens when you find your purpose. Thank you for leading me back to myself. ”

“Had I not done my boundaries work with you, I would have reacted differently to being around my parents for five days. I could see my father triggering my siblings, but I protected my inner child and did not allow myself to get sucked in. It was like I had this beautiful blanket of protection over the child and I ended up have a great time."

Inner Child Psychotherapy. Alan. 50. IT Manager.

"I absolutely recommend Jeraline's style of psychotherapy because it is really effective at getting to the root cause of problems. I was angry at work because I wasn't being listened to. This psychotherapy is extremely effective if you are open and honest as a client. It is really relieving to talk about things that you have never talked about before. I learned so much about myself, my values, boundaries, and they have helped me have better interactions with everyone, everyday. It is helping my career and my marriage, in a way that I could not have imagined before I started therapy."

Relationship Psychotherapy. Adi. 38. Architect.

"Our friendship has returned and our communication has improved. Both of us feel less stressed, as the sessions allowed us to get things of our chests, so we now feel more relaxed around each other and can focus on the business. We start each day being in charge of what we think, how we choose to deal with people and situations. We're learning not to react. We had a different view of counselling before we went but it exceeded our expectations."

Couples Relationship Psychotherapy. Syra. 29. Entrepreneur.

”I went to resolve a number of issues about my fear of not meeting someone. I was supported to be clear, look at my relationship patterns, what a healthy relationship is and how I was relating to others unconsciously. My psychotherapist was welcoming, calm, and encouraging. She worked with me to heal my injured self-esteem; feel less anxious, and helped me to remind myself of who I am and my strengths."

Relationship Psychotherapy. Emma. 25. Teacher.

Couples Relationship Psychotherapy. Liz. 44. Finance. Wife.

"Since going through couples therapy I am so much more aware, I understand more, am beginning to have more compassion for myself, am listening to my spirit more, am better equipped to deal with whatever life might throw my way. My husband and I have found each other again.

I would try to reassure other couples thinking of doing therapy with Lijeke that they are definitely not alone, not to compare their problems to others – your reality is your own and is perfectly valid. It is a bit scary, it takes courage and commitment but you already have that in spades if you’ve got to the point of realising you may need help. It is invaluable to have someone in your life that you can explicitly trust to help you while also holding you to account and helping provide a different perspective while helping you to articulate your experiences, make sense of them and find ways forward."

Couples Relationship Psychotherapy. Mark. 52. CEO. Husband.

"My relationship with my wife has begun to flourish, I understand myself so much better than I did but more importantly I understand her in a way I never did before. I’ve learned (and still am learning) to listen to my wife and we can converse in an adult way, something I was never taught growing up. We can discuss and explore the reasons we feel certain ways in certain situations together. We have become a much stronger partnership over the course of our therapy, and I’d say that of all the things we’ve ever done together in our 15 years of being married, our therapy both individual and together has been the most significant accomplishment from my perspective. Although we still have work to do we are better equipped than ever before to overcome those challenges."

"If I don’t have time in the week to think about myself, I find myself repeating the same old avoidant relationship patterns. The sessions provide me with an opportunity to have a space to uncover what specific issues are affecting my inability to commit to the person I am seeing. Having a listening ear supports me to find the answers within myself to solve my problems. With the new information, and confidence, that I now have, I feel like a better version of myself, and I am being more honest to others."

Relationship Psychotherapy. Mo. 37. Finance.

“It was scary how quickly I found myself opening up to my psychotherapist. I don't normally talk about my feelings and I am good at at putting on a confident front. Because of her questions and her putting me at ease, I was saying things I keep to myself and starting to understand things, put the dots together, and see where and why I may need to change."

Relationship Psychotherapy. Jamilya. 29. PA.

“Something felt off and my relationship was being affected. Jeraline was recommended to me. I spoke to a few psychotherapists including Jeraline and decided to work with her as during the first call she asked me questions and shared observations that made me think about things differently. If you’re not ready to do the work, open up that box and you’re happy living with your distractions and defences like I was, this therapy is not for you. Inner child psychotherapy is challenging, but I’ve changed and like who I am now."

Inner Child Psychotherapy. Dan. 35. Lecturer.

"This therapy is not talking therapy. It's a journey of questioning and guidance that I couldn't have done just by talking. This therapy is transformational. Other therapy allowed me to offload and not do anything deeper. I feel like the person I would have been if I had healthy parents and a safe home. I have changed the direction of my life, my child's life and possibly the relationship I am in. "

Inner Child Psychotherapy. Melissa. 41. Management.
