AFRIKAN FOCUSSED PSYCHOTHERAPY
NTU™ PSYCHOTHERAPY
​
NTU is a Bantu word from Central Afrika. It is described as a universal energy that runs through all of existence. It is referred to by many names in different cultures, e.g. prana, chi, life force etc.
In Afrikan focussed Psychotherapy we understand that NTU can be increased or decreased depending on one's thoughts and/or behaviours.
​​​
When NTU increases in an individual, family or community, then health and well-being increases. When it decreases, health and well-being declines. NTU is understood to be a lifestyle, a way of living and being.
​​​
As an NTU therapist I work with the connection between the body, mind and spirit, supporting individuals, couples, families and communities to achieve optimal health through the attention and care they give to their body, their mind and their spirit in their daily lives.
