Shira Bauer, MSc

I grew up in South Africa and made Aliya to Israel 16 years ago. I have an Msc in Psychology and am a Clinical Logotherapist. I have been doing counselling as a Logotherapist for about 7 years and specialize in combining Logotherapy with Inner child healing for adults in the last 5 years. I am passionate to understand and help my clients- each according to their needs.

Logotherapy is Viktor Frankl's approach to counselling. 'Logo' in Greek means 'meaning'. Thus 'meaning-centered' therapy. Frankl was a psychiatrist who survived the Holocaust. He used his approach to help people before, during and after the war. He helped people see they can transcend any circumstance because they have an untouchable spirit. He believed that in every person's unique situation, there is a meaning and purpose that lies within it. Logotherapy helps the person discover their own meaning to their individual circumstance.

Inner child healing is about learning how to heal from within using self-soothing and compassion, whilst 'holding the hand' of the therapist and safely reframing the past and releasing what's been stored in the cells of our body and waiting to be healed.

The Inner child healing combined with reflection on meaning and values are powerful tools for growth.The client learns to self-transcend his thoughts and circumstances and live a more elevated and enriched life. The client leaves the sessions with a deeper sense of self and tools to tackle life.

I would love to take this journey together with you!
