Our Approach to Therapy at ANIMA

At ANIMA, we exist for one reason: to help people create meaningful, sustainable psychological change.

Real change doesn’t come from quick fixes or surface‑level conversations. It comes from commitment, courage, and readiness, the willingness to explore yourself with honesty, depth, and purpose.

We are here to support you with skill, compassion, and evidence‑based care. But therapy is not a passive experience.

It requires you.

So before you book, we ask you to consider something essential:

Are You Truly Ready for This Work?

Therapy at ANIMA is for people who are ready to:

• Attend sessions consistently (usually weekly to start)

• Lean into insight, even when it feels uncomfortable

• Explore long‑standing patterns with curiosity, not avoidance

• Practise new strategies between sessions

• Communicate openly, especially when the work becomes challenging

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up with intention. If you are ready, this work can change the trajectory of your life.

If You Are Not Ready Yet

Here is the clearest message we can give you:

If you are not motivated to do the work, please do not book yet.

This is not rejection. This is respect.

Respect for:

• Your time

• Your energy

• Your financial resources

• Your emotional capacity

• The integrity of the therapeutic process

Therapy only works when the timing is right. And readiness is something only you can decide. If your life is too full, your emotional capacity is low, or you’re not willing to participate actively, pressing pause is wise, not wrong.

Come back when you feel the internal “yes.” We will still be here.
