Are you ready to take the first step towards taking control of your life?
People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes life can feel like a stuck record. The same old problems keep coming back or they just won’t go away. At other times you may feel a bit lost or held back from achieving your hopes or dreams.
Perhaps you have been depressed or anxious for some time or have other longer term mental health issues. Or maybe you are experiencing relationship problems, confusion about your sexuality, loneliness or existential issues. You may have simply lost your mojo with life.
Whatever your reason is, I can help you understand what makes you tick and get to grips with who you are.Â
Counselling and psychotherapy can involve an exploration of you past and the relationships and experiences that have formed you. This can help you to understand how the past affects you in the present. If you can understand these dynamics and patterns you can begin to make changes in the way you behave so that things can be different in the future.
Sometimes we have negative experiences which can stay with us for a long time. Current events or circumstances can act as “triggers” for those feelings and thoughts to come back into our lives at unexpected times.
Without help, these thoughts and feelings can control or reduce the quality of our lives to a fairly high degree. Seeking help can be the first step to making those important positive self-changes in your life.
The psychotherapy process can take anything  from a few months up to a couple of years of weekly work, sometimes longer depending upon the nature of the issue. The main aim of therapy is for you to make the changes you deserve, regardless of timescales.
