At The Purple Centre the wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties of the clients will be addressed, diagnosed and treated. The most appropriate therapy will be resorted for effective results.
The purpose of a psychiatric diagnostic interview is to gather information that will enable the examiner to make a diagnosis. Having established a diagnosis, the clinician can then make predictions about the future course of a disorder and the likely response to treatment. As with all areas of medicine, treatment decisions are guided by diagnosis. Unlike most disciplines of physical medicine, however, psychiatry has no external validating criteria, no laboratory tests to confirm or refute diagnostic impressions.
Consequently the diagnoses is wholly a product of the skills and knowledge of the individual psychiatrist and can never be better than the judgment made by individual clinicians.
Emotional difficulties are usually the upshot of thoughts and feeling out of a person’s consciousness, which may also be augmented by situations and stresses in current reality of an individual’s life. The treatment at The Purple Centre therefore focuses not only at the preliminary distress or symptoms but also the underlying sources of distress that are often unknown to the individual/ patient/ client.
One of the key therapies provided at The Purple Centre is Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. It is a collaborative/joint effort on the part of the therapist and the patient to do the following :
- Increase awareness and understanding of the unconscious feelings, thought and defences
- Develop new insight into the patient’s/client’s motivations
- Help individuals take back control of their lives and
- Respond to challenging situations with healthy coping skills.

We offer various modes of therapy
- Psychoanalytic psychotherapy with adults and adolescents
Psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapy aim to help adults and adolescents with serious psychological disorders to understand and change complex, deep-seated and often unconsciously based emotional and relationship problems thereby reducing symptoms and alleviating distress. This process helps patients gradually to identify these patterns and, in becoming conscious of them, to develop the capacity to understand and change them.
- Psychodynamic/psychoanalytic play therapy with children
- Family Therapy
Family therapy is a type of psychological counseling (psychotherapy) that helps family members improve communication and resolve conflicts.Family therapy will be a short term. It may include all family members or just those able or willing to participate. Your specific treatment plan will depend on your family’s situation. Family therapy sessions will teach you skills to deepen family connections and get through stressful times, even after you’re done going to therapy sessions.

This is a great way to repair your strained relationship with your partner.Couples try couples therapy when a significant amount of damage has already been done.
