IPT is a structure treatment for depression. it looks at you symptoms of low mood in relation to your interpersonal relationships- do some relationships make your mood worse or better? Does your mood impact how you want to be with the people close to you?

IPT focuses on one of four areas:

Role transitions

Major changes in our life such as divorce; loss of role and identity; long term medical conditions and pain or retirement to name a few.

Disputes

Conflict with those we care about can be distressing. Whether you want to maintain the relationship, or find acceptance to move away from what doesn't serve you- disputes can be explored together.

Grief

Although grief is a normal experience that many will go through, complex grief - that which feels stuck or longstanding can have a significant impact on our functioning and mood. We can explore the losses and what this has meant for you.

Interpersonal sensitivities

Have you found that all interpersonal relationships in your life have been difficult? Forming and maintaining friendships and relationships have always seemed a struggle. Perhaps sensitivities work could help you to explore communication and move you towards healthier dynamics.
