Adlerian Therapy
Adlerian therapy is a holistic, goal-oriented approach based on the work of Alfred Adler. It focuses on understanding individuals within their social context, emphasising personal growth, belonging and the drive to overcome feelings of inferiority through positive life goals.
Adlerian therapy explores early childhood experiences, family dynamics and beliefs that shape behaviour. It helps clients gain insight into their lifestyle patterns and motivations. By identifying unhelpful beliefs, individuals are encouraged to develop healthier ways of thinking, feeling and acting.
This therapy is suitable for people facing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem or relationship issues. It can be helpful for those seeking personal development or struggling with life direction. Adlerian therapy supports people of all ages, including children, adults and families.
In a typical session, the therapist and client explore life history, early memories and current challenges. The focus is on collaboration, encouragement and identifying goals. Clients are supported in building confidence, improving relationships and finding purposeful ways to contribute to their communities.
