Psychotherapy and Counseling
Psychotherapy is a psychological method for addressing and treating emotional and mental health problems and their impact on life, family, and relationships. It’s also for self-improvement and for doing what one does better. In other words, it may be a means of awareness, insight, and personal growth.
Psychotherapy is not ‘done to you’ by someone else but ‘done by you’. You play an active part, with the therapist acting as a facilitator. The process can be empowering.
It involves talking to a professional, either one-on-one or in groups. Therapy aims to gain a deeper understanding of thoughts, feelings, worries, and disturbing behaviour with the intent of raising awareness and bringing about changes—from a less adaptive to a more adaptive state, as deemed desirable by the participant or client.
Dr Jain states, “Psychotherapy is much more than just listening, guiding, and changing. It’s about building trust and rekindling hope that life is fluid (and ever-changing) and that problems are an opportunity for transformation and psychological growth rather than a hindrance.”
Typically, psychotherapy may be advised for depression, anxiety, stress-related issues, domestic and marital conflict, self-esteem and confidence issues, relationship and intimacy problems, relapse prevention, addiction and psychosomatic illness.
Depending on the presentation, therapy sessions are planned and conducted on an individual, couple, family or group basis.
Dr Jain offers an integrated psychotherapeutic approach that combines cognitive behavioral, motivational, and mindfulness-based therapies. He uses Freudian and Jungian psychoanalytical approaches to increase personal awareness, move toward mental balance and wholeness, and bring relief and meaning to psychological suffering. Psychotherapy aims to help you improve your life by allowing you to see it in a new way.
