Alexandra Vartosu
Holistic Psychotherapist, Hypnotherapist & Transformational Coach
I help sensitive, introspective adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in old patterns return to a deeper sense of calm, clarity, and self-trust. I blend psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, and subconscious healing to meet what lives beneath the surface, not just the symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions About Interpersonal
What is Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)?
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) is a structured, time-limited psychotherapy developed by Gerald Klerman and Myrna Weissman in the 1970s, originally for depression. It is based on the observation that psychological symptoms occur in an interpersonal context — and that improving the quality of a person's relationships and social functioning produces improvement in symptoms. IPT focuses on four specific interpersonal problem areas: grief and loss, role transitions (life changes), role disputes (conflicts in key relationships), and interpersonal deficits (social isolation or difficulty forming relationships).
What conditions does IPT treat?
IPT has strong evidence for major depression (comparable to CBT and antidepressants), postpartum depression, bipolar disorder (as maintenance therapy), bulimia nervosa, and social anxiety. It has been adapted for adolescents (IPT-A), the elderly, people with HIV/AIDS, and diverse cultural populations. IPT is recommended as a first-line treatment for depression by major clinical guidelines including those of the American Psychological Association and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
What does IPT involve?
Standard IPT is delivered over 12–16 sessions in three phases. The initial phase (sessions 1–3) involves assessment, psychoeducation about depression, completing an "interpersonal inventory" (mapping key relationships), and identifying the primary focus area. The middle phase works on the identified interpersonal problem area using specific strategies — communication analysis, role-playing, exploring options, and improving social support. The termination phase consolidates gains and prepares for managing future difficulties.
How is IPT different from other depression treatments?
CBT focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviour. Psychodynamic therapy explores unconscious patterns and past relationships. IPT has a narrower, specific focus on current interpersonal functioning and its connection to mood. IPT does not explore early childhood experiences in depth or seek to change cognitive patterns — its focus is on improving current relationships and functioning in real-world social contexts. This makes it particularly practical and accessible for people who want concrete help with their current relationship situation.
Who is IPT best suited for?
IPT is particularly well-suited for people whose depression or other symptoms are clearly linked to a specific interpersonal event or challenge — a bereavement, a major role transition (new parent, retirement, job loss), a significant conflict in a key relationship, or social isolation. It is a good fit for people who prefer a practical, focused approach and are comfortable talking about their relationships directly. It may be less suited to people with complex trauma histories, personality difficulties, or those who want open-ended exploration of their inner life.
