Relational therapy

What is Relational Therapy?

Relational therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on the power of relationships to promote healing and personal growth. It emphasizes the importance of understanding how past and present relationships impact emotional well-being.

Key Concepts of Relational Therapy

This form of therapy is based on the idea that healing occurs in the context of relationships, both with the therapist and with others in your life. Through therapeutic conversations, you can better understand yourself and how you relate to others, leading to healthier interpersonal connections.

Joanna Miller Brighton

Joanna Miller

Integrative Psychotherapist

I’m an accredited psychotherapist with 15 years experience.I believe that the counselling relationship should be a creative space for both parties. It should feel comfortable and open enough to be free from anxiety and pressure in which new perspectives can emerge. In my view most mental activity takes place below the level of conscious awareness and my role is to help people gain access to it and insights from it.As an accredited therapist I am affiliated with several private healthcare companies including BUPA and AXA. I have an up-to-date DBS certificate which is registered on the update service. As well as working with individual adults, including trainee therapists, I have many years' experience working with children, couples and families. I have been a university counsellor so have a lot of experience working with students and young people and have also worked in secondary schools.
