Starting psychotherapy can feel like a real challenge. It takes tremendous courage to open up about the things that are troubling you and holding you back. Some people tell themselves their problems don't count, others have learnt to hide their feelings to get by, and some worry about being judged if they speak honestly and vulnerably. That’s okay. I provide a space where you can safely explore and work through these things, and I will be an active, understanding presence alongside you.

 

Therapy offers the opportunity to:

• Feel heard

• Experience a relationship where you are welcome to bring all facets of yourself

• Heal and grow from painful experiences

• Recognise patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaviour that cause you to feel stuck

• ​Challenge self-limiting beliefs

• Think more clearly and kindly about yourself, including the parts you've hidden or rejected

• Know who you are, beyond what others have expected of you

• Feel empowered to make choices about your life and how you want to live it.

​

You might decide to contact me if you are:

• Struggling with confidence and self-esteem, or thinking and feeling badly about yourself

• Feeling lonely, empty, lost, disconnected, flat, or depressed

• Experiencing difficulties in relationships with partners, family members, or friends

• Overwhelmed by strong emotions or recurrent, anxious thoughts

• Suffering following a traumatic experience

 

This list isn’t exhaustive. Some people come to therapy with a clear idea of what they want to work on, while others may struggle to put it into words – they just know something needs to change. That’s perfectly okay. If you're unsure about where to begin, we’ll take it one step at a time, at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
