Talking Therapies: What is love?

Do you know what love is?

With 70% of the British population in a relationship, shouldn’t we know more about it?

This month our CEO Sarah Niblock sat down with UKCP psychotherapists Dr Divine Charura to discuss self-love, our love for others and our love for humanity.

‘In order to understand the importance of self-love, I have to think about the dis-ease from not having it. Many of the people that I see as a psychologist or psychotherapist come because there are difficulties that have emerged from not having self-love.’

In her feature for Psychologies Magazine, our CEO Professor Sarah Niblock writes: ‘Our ideas and expectations around romantic love tend to come through our upbringing and socialisation, rather than our intrinsic nature.’
