Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT)

Healing Through Connection

Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) is a time-limited, structured therapy that focuses on the critical role of relationships in emotional well-being. It is typically delivered over 12–16 weekly, 45-50 minute, individual sessions.

It helps individuals explore how life events, unresolved grief, role transitions, and interpersonal conflicts contribute to psychological distress — and empowers them to navigate these challenges with greater clarity and emotional resilience.

Rooted in the understanding that human connection is central to mental health, IPT helps you identify patterns in the way you relate to others and supports you in making meaningful changes that enhance emotional closeness, communication, and self-worth.You’ll learn communication strategies and conflict-resolution skills that you can apply across various life domains.

How IPT Works 

IPT focuses on four key interpersonal problem areas:

  • Grief and Loss: Processing unresolved bereavement that may be linked to depression or anxiety.
  • Role Transitions: Coping with major life changes (e.g., divorce, career shifts, parenthood, retirement) that impact your sense of identity and relationships.
  • Interpersonal Disputes: Understanding and resolving conflicts in close relationships that may be fueling emotional distress.
  • Interpersonal Deficits: Addressing patterns of isolation, social anxiety, or communication difficulties that limit your ability to form fulfilling connections.

IPT can be helpful:

  • Depression
  • Grief and bereavement
  • Relationship breakdowns
  • Perinatal and postnatal depression
  • Life transitions and adjustment
  • Chronic loneliness and isolation
  • Low self-worth and attachment difficulties
