The Inner Quest- Centre for Psychological Treatment

The mind of every human being is the abode of bliss and tranquility. Certain aspect of the outer world, experiences and the time itself cause wear and tear to the natural willpower and the tendency towards self-actualization. There is only solution to this lays in the ‘SELF’. In 2017, we started “The Inner Quest- Center for Psychological Treatment". The Inner Quest (IQ) is a scientific attempt to rediscover and kindle the true aspect of you.

At The Inner Quest, we help redefine the limits of living; our mantra being “Kindling the latent power of the human mind; to rethink, restarts and relive.”

Therapeutic Approaches

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a method of treatment for psychological disorders, which takes a practical, task-based approach to solving problems.

It is designed to help change negative thoughts and behaviour, by providing more positive and fulfilling solutions.

The focus of CBT is to address symptoms while they are present, and to learn skills and techniques that can be used in the ongoing improvement of mental health.

Client Centered Therapy

Client Centered Therapy uses a non-authoritative approach that allows clients to take more of a lead in discussions so that, in the process, they will discover their own solutions. The therapist acts as a compassionate facilitator, listening without judgment and acknowledging the client’s experience without moving the conversation in another direction. The therapist is there to encourage and support the client and to guide the therapeutic process without interrupting or interfering with the client’s process of self-discovery.

Psychodynamic therapy

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on the psychological roots of emotional suffering. Its hallmarks are self-reflection and self-examination, and the use of the relationship between therapist and client as a window into problematic relationship patterns in the patient’s life. Its goal is not only to alleviate the most obvious symptoms but to help people lead healthier lives.
