ABOUT THERAPY

You may have had counselling before or it may be entirely new to you. I provide a place for you to talk about your concerns in confidence, using my experience to help you think about them in ways you may not have done before. Our starting point will usually be your present problems and how you feel about them. Your difficulties may also have underlying causes that are hidden from view – such as past family relationships and unconscious impulses. As your therapy develops, I will try to help you recall some of these less accessible feelings to help you explore what they mean. Every client has a unique past and faces unique challenges. Some of the problems I can help you with are: depression, low self-esteem, body image problems, grief, self-harm or suicidal thoughts, addiction, sexuality, work problems, stress and anxiety, panic attacks and problems in forming or maintaining relationships of all types. Therapy is a joint endeavour and with commitment from both of us it can help you recognise and change recurrent patterns of behaviour that hold you back from achieving your potential.
