Why do people choose therapy?

People consider starting short term or long term therapy for many different reasons. Sometimes there is a specific issue, such as the breakdown of a relationship, a bereavement, work-related stress, or some other painful life event. Sometimes there are more complex and deep-rooted difficulties that have built up over a long period of time, often established in childhood, which present in less focused or obvious ways - such as feeling extremely anxious, unhappy, angry, sad or empty, finding it difficult to make or sustain good relationships, struggling with loss or change, feeling a lack of self-confidence or self-esteem.

Psychotherapy is a structured, collaborative process that helps you to explore your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and patterns of relating to others in depth. It is a supportive relationship with a trained therapist who can help to understand the cause of your distress, identify unhelpful patterns, and develop more effective ways of thinking, feeling, and relating to yourself and others. It can also provide you with support in making choices and decisions moving forward.

Whatever difficulties people come with, I take a compassionate and person-centered approach, always respecting the person I am working with and the therapeutic relationship.
