About Counselling
Is there a need for psychotherapy?
Yes, if you:
are fed up of problematic or addictive patterns that you don’t understand
live with lack of meaning or direction in life
want to better understand your feelings, thoughts and behaviours
see yourself wanting, yet running from relationships
are distressed about sex, sexuality, cultural or race issues
wish to explore your struggles in straddling political, social and sexual cultures.
How can psychotherapy help?
Ultimately, psychotherapy and counselling are deep conversations for the purposes of understanding yourself. Often people struggle through life without a sense of purpose or meaning. In order to find meaning, you may need professional support.
A boundaried professional relationship with your therapist is the most important element of the work. The experience of being heard within a confidential and professional psychotherapy relationship can be transformative. Through our work, you might better understand your relationships, problematic patterns and addictions in your life.
Like all well-trained therapists, I have personally experienced deep positive changes through psychotherapy and that makes me more committed to my work with you.
How could life be?
Life ought to be about self-respect, enjoyment of relationships, following your passions and finding satisfaction in your work.
Greater understanding of self and the world can help prevent a repeat of unhelpful patterns and bring in helpful changes. Over time as you grow in self-understanding, life could feel more manageable and you may become more accepting of areas where control is not possible.
