PSYCHOTHERAPY — The Delicious Delight of Living

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Anyone who ever gave psychotherapy a real try

will know how tricky it can be

to find someone that you click with in therapy sense.

Even though it is personal,

I can’t imagine Raphael not being the right fit for anyone.

Raphael is a respectful, supportive, and genuine therapist.

A person with a great passion, impressive,

always expanding knowledge

and so much love.

I feel lucky that I have met Raphael

because what he has taught me

and how he continues to support me,

allows me to live the most satisfying life possible

Zuzanna, client

Raphael’s psychotherapy system - which they call psychocreativity - is a synthesis of:

Talk focused therapy focusing on a deep psychotherapy process
Existential psychology including Buddhist and Yogic - that clarifies our purpose in life that is specific to you
Meditative therapy focusing on mindfulness, self-compassion and connection
Creative therapies such as photography, art, dance, writing
Play therapy for adults as well as children
Deep ecological process with particular focus on water-based therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapies focusing on commitment to actions to achieve aims and goals
Pioneering research in science, including biology and neuroscience

Raphael works together with you on this. For example, if you connect most to dance, the therapy becomes dance oriented. If talking is what you need then we talk. If Mindfulness supports you to deal better with pain Raphael guides and train you in mindful activity and meditation. If water can soothe your being, we work in water.

Raphael’s psychotherapy has deeply impacted and elevated the lives of people they work with: see TESTIMONIALS.

Ultimately, embodying the spirt of these words of philosopher Lao Tzu,

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.

Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime

Raphael can enable you to become your own best teacher, guide, therapist and friend throughout your life.
