Therapy

Therapy can be the first step towards feeling more like you again.

It can also feel like a very daunting step particularly if you have not had therapy before. Maybe you have never spoken about some of these issues, maybe you have never even thought about some of these issues. It can then feel quite strange to do so with someone you have never met before - your therapist.

Therapy is about much more than a "place to vent," or a "listening ear." Therapy can provide the support you need to help you find your way towards feeling more like you again. Therapy provides us a valuable and dedicated time in our lives to connect to ourselves in deeper, more profound and meaningful ways. This can improve the relationships in our life – with others, the world around you and, most importantly, yourself.

Therapy can help you:

• Feel more in control of emotions

• Find more enjoyment from your life

• Provide you with practical tools to manage stressors

• Feel more connected to yourself and others

• Better understand the causes for your anxiety, isolation, fears, sadness

• Build more confidence both in yourself and what you want from your life

• Develop insight into what holds you back from relationships that are fulfilling and meaningful

• Gain control over the thoughts, behaviors and worries that can run your life

• Obtain ways to cope with and manage overwhelming emotions

I believe it is really important that you feel safe and comfortable with me if we are going to work together in therapy. That is why I offer a free 15 minute initial video or telephone consultation so you can get a feel for me to see if we may be a good fit.

I can answer some of your questions about therapy, how I practice and how I can potentially support you to manage your current difficulties.
