Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy, (or ‘therapy’ for short), is perfect if you are going through some challenging times.

If, right now, you are struggling to cope with things in your life, or you are dealing with some major difficulties, or perhaps you simply need support to process challenging emotions, such as grief, depression, anxiety or anger, then psychotherapy is the place to begin.

In my therapy sessions, I focus on creating a safe space for you, so that together we can get to the heart of the issues that you are facing.

Psychotherapy is sometimes called the talking cure, and I think deep down, if we are honest, we know when we need to talk something through with a non-judgmental and accepting person.

Sometimes talking it through is all that is required. I have seen this happen several times, where the person just needed to share their story and this alone created a cathartic release, and the person could return to normal functioning.

Other times, talking it through will lead to sudden insights, or greater awareness, and that in itself is enough to bring about positive change.

But in most cases, therapy is more than just talking through the problem; a good therapist will also help you to approach your challenges in new and empowering ways.

They will help you understand the root cause of the problem, and teach you skills that will enable you to cope better in the future.

And finally, psychotherapy can help you to take new positive action towards goals that are meaningful to you.
