What is Psychotherapy? (How different is it from Counselling?)Psychotherapy can be understood to be a human relational process between two people (or a group) where the therapist and client set up to discover 'what is a good life within the parameters of a persons life'. It is a mutual and ethical process for anyone who experiences distress or is seeking to consider difficulties in their experience of living.
-
How is Humane Clinic different?Humane Clinic does not engage in the use of pathologising labels for peoples experiences. Instead, the approach is understanding that peoples expression is a response to the environment they live in and provide a psychotherapy based relational response as an alternative.
Matt Ball
Matt Ball began the Humane Clinic following 15 years of working in public mental health services in the UK and Australia and recognising the inherent problems of these systems and how they stifled the human to human relationship. His intention now is to bring human to human connection as the response to distress in Psychotherapy and groups and to leave the pathologizing and restricting practices of mental health systems approaches behind.
