Farsi Counselling in Tonbridge

با سلام اینجانب صفورا سپهری دارای دکترا روان شناسی از دانشگاه شهید بهشتی (دانشگاه ملی سابق) می باشم. در لندن نیز یک دروه مطالعات روانکاوی گذرانده ام و در حال حاضر عضو انجمن روان شناسی انگلستان هستم. حدود ده سال سابقه کار در درمان تحلیلی دارم و دارای جلسه های فردی و زوج می باشم. در جلسات روان درمانی همیشه علت های پنهان و ناخودآگاه درد و ناراحتی مورد توجه درمانگر قرار میگیرد زیرا اعتقاد بر این است تا این علت های اصلی ریشه یابی نشود، مشکل ادامه خواهد داشت.

من با افرادی که از اضطراب ، افسردگی رنج میبرند یا درگیر سوگ و از دست دادن هستند رنج کار می کنم. به علاوه کار من با افرادی است که ممکن است از اعتماد به نفس و عزت نفس پائین رنج میبرند. لیست مشکلاتی که مراجع کنندگان بخاطر ان به من مراجعه میکنند را میتوانید در صفحه من ببینید.

Counselling provides a safe and confidential space in which you can explore whatever is troubling you. Our first meeting will help me to make an initial assessment of your situation and will also give you an opportunity to gain a sense of whether you feel comfortable with me in order for us to work together. This session will additionally give you an opportunity to explore what you would like to gain from counselling and give us a chance to establish whether you would like to commit to a short-term or potentially an open-ended basis. This will ultimately be your decision and can naturally change over the course of therapy.
