How the work is done

Finds the cause first

Early sessions look for the real cause and the pattern of the problem, so the treatment plan fits the person.

Sets work between sessions

Home assignments and self-help practice keep progress going between appointments.

Brings in the family

Parents, partners and relatives join when their support helps recovery.

Follows up after the end

Short follow-up sessions after treatment help prevent relapse and give time to reflect.

“Health is the fundamental wealth of every person, because nothing is possible in life without it.”
