As humans we have an innate ability to communicate our experience in the form of stories, and we give meaning to our lives through narration of these stories.  Stories, however, can lead to ‘narrative entrapment’ – where we get caught up in disparaging stories about who we are; stories told to us, and about us, by others.  We then tell ourselves these stories as if they are true.

However, we can retell our self-stories so that our apparent deficiencies are seen for what they really are: an illusion.  We can unburden ourselves from a false, suffering self-story and discover our best self.

With a grounding in psychodynamic psychotherapy, our work at Integrated Therapy Brighton is informed by twenty-five years of Buddhist practice and transpersonal philosophy.

We specialise in working with people who would like to explore counselling in conjunction with spirituality.
