Psychotherapy
Often people worry that they won’t know what to say when they come to therapy.
You don’t have to have it all figured out, we do that work together.
The process pays attention to establish the themes and threads that emerge from your unique life history.
Psychotherapy is not ‘just talking’. You will learn new language, understand evidence based theory and gain valuable insights to help to bring about new ways of looking at things.
My job is to safely take you to sometimes unexpected, uncomfortable and what might feel like vulnerable places at times. And vitally to ensure it is containing, healing and most of all strengthening.
We get to the heart of what has happened (or what didn’t happen for you) to identify the things that are holding you back now.
You will be able to establish current triggers that are rooted in the past, better understand unhelpful patterns and behaviours and explore blocked and limiting beliefs.
You will be able to identify and apply new coping strategies and learn how to not only identify them but to understand and manage your emotions more helpfully.
You will gain a deeper understanding of the impact of others on you. How to identify this more clearly and how to increase more self-awareness and deepen your understanding of how this plays out in your life.
You will gain clarity through psychological education leading to greater emotional resilience. And better understand the unhelpful behaviours that might be getting in your way.
My distinct approach holds together key principles of mindful awareness and compassionate self enquiry.
Whilst my approach is about going deep, it’s not about endlessly excavating. We are not unnecessarily digging up the past, but we are going there.
You get to unearth and explore your story in a slow, considered, meaningful way. Getting to the root of your present wounds and bringing forward a more empowered and embodied sense of self.
You get to re- organise what you already know and re-establish a bone deep relationship with yourself.
Although I am not going to be another person who tells you what to do as they see it, I am committed to giving you a sense of clarity, direction and deeper understanding.
The work you will do will be elevating, enriching and importantly sustainable. You will have the tools and language to carry with you always.
