Adlerian therapy, also known as individual psychology, is an approach developed by Alfred Adler, who collaborated with Sigmund Freud. This therapeutic approach emphasizes the impact of our early life experiences, particularly within our families, on our perception of the world and our responses to events. Adlerian counsellors believe that the beliefs and goals we develop as children continue to shape our behavior in adulthood, even if we are not consciously aware of them. Through Adlerian therapy, your counsellor will assist you in understanding the underlying reasons behind your behavior, enabling you to identify more effective ways of acting.
Adlerian therapy is characterized by its positive and encouraging nature, making it suitable for individuals, couples, and families seeking support. It has shown effectiveness in addressing anxiety and anti-social behaviors. By working with an Adlerian therapist, you can explore your experiences and beliefs, gaining insights that lead to personal growth and improved coping mechanisms.
