How We Can Help
Psychotherapy is for everyone – you do not need to have a particular issue, diagnosis, or experience to talk with a psychotherapist. For many, it is during a period of heightened difficulty or pain that they first turn to psychotherapy, for others it is when they are grappling with life decisions, with stress, change or uncertainty.
For example, you might come to therapy because:
- You’re feeling anxious and don’t know why
- Things feel overwhelming or out of control
- You are experiencing persistent low mood or depression
- You have been through a trauma of some kind either recently or in the past
- You’re going through a significant life transition – moving into adulthood, becoming a parent, or navigating mid-life or older age
- Relationships have become difficult – you may have experienced relationship breakdown, loneliness or isolation
- You’re struggling with grief or loss
- You’re feeling a lack of meaning in your life or are questioning your direction, purpose or identity
- You’re feeling under stress or burnt out
- You aren’t sleeping, or are having troubling dreams
- You want to understand yourself more deeply
Psychotherapy is a collaborative process. Together, we can explore your experiences, thoughts, feelings and relationships, paying attention to patterns that may have developed over time and to the things that may be keeping you feeling stuck.The aim isn’t simply to get rid of difficult feelings. It can also be about developing a deeper understanding of yourself and finding new ways of relating to yourself, to others and to the life you’re living.
