About me and my therapy practice
Are you finding things difficult and struggling to cope with life? Do you feel stuck in a rut? Are you constantly anxious and stressed? Are your relationships suffering?
Therapy allows you to express your thoughts and feelings freely in a confidential space. Together we will explore the issues that have caused you to seek help as well as looking at any other issues that arise.
Many clients come with an internal critical voice that tells them they are not good enough in many different ways. An increased awareness of this critical voice can allow you to change how you speak to yourself; so you become kinder to yourself and build self-esteem.
Talking and thinking about your thoughts and feelings increases your self-awareness and allows you to reflect on how they affect your relationships. Increased awareness leads to an ability to make new and different choices and to make positive changes.
Practice description
I am a psychodynamic therapist which means that I work with experiences in the past to understand the issues you face in the present. We will explore your childhood and early relationships in order to understand why you are who you are. As you become more conscious of why you behave or feel a certain way in particular situations you will be able to have more choice about how you respond or manage in those situations in future.
My first session
An initial session is an opportunity for us both to decide whether we should work together. We will discuss the issues that led you to seek help and talk about what you are hoping to get out of our work together.
