Our Approach

It’s about you being seen and heard by your psych as well as your self in an emotionally warm and safe space. For your thoughts, feelings, and experiences to be held by someone you like and trust.

What you can expect

    • It’s about YOU finding the a psych you like, and click with.

    • It's about YOU being met where you are at regarding your stage of life/personal journey, rather than being told what you should do

    • It’s about your psych meeting you where you’re at in terms of how much or how little YOU feel like going into things

    • It’s about YOUR agenda in each appointment and your therapy goals, and your personal and emotional needs, whether you want to be allowed to speak without interruption or you prefer some guidance or structure.

    • It’s about empowering YOU with tools, skills, knowledge, guiding you towards self realisations. Possibly even doing some emotional healing of old wounds.

    • It's about you implementing new behaviours, habits, strategies, tools that you feel you're ready for and you think will be helpful in your life.

    • Improvements to your self-understanding and emotional capacity flowing into real-life changes.

    • Evidenced by improvements in your health, relationships, work satisfaction, marriage, mental health, and your capacity to create healthy habits.

A bit about our name, ‘On Being Psychology’

At On Being Psychology, we believe there’s nothing wrong with identifying with the mind, intellect however when we are over-identifying with it, when we’re being “unconscious” it can lead to human suffering. Can we become more than just our minds?

Who are you? What is your core or your essence? Are you your mind, your intellect, your ego, is there more to you than that?

Can we integrate our heart, our souls, our essence? Can we become more whole as a human being? That is our ethos at OBP - to go deeper into our personalities, our “Selves” and become a more whole and integrated, more authentic self. This person will still of course experience the emotional ebbs and flows of life with all it’s difficulties and challenges, but there will be less suffering, more self-confidence to deal with life’s challenges, more genuine self-worth and inner peace. And therefore more connection, and love with other’s too. Now isn’t that something worth striving for?

It’s about the bigger picture - how society affects us subconsciously. How cultural norms and backgrounds and of course how your childhood may have unconsciously influenced you as a human being, your strengths, talents, warts and all.
