How could I benefit from psychotherapy?
Therapy sessions are confidential; this allows you to talk about thoughts, feelings, behaviours and experiences that you may not wish to discuss with anyone else. The nature of the therapeutic relationship enables you to express yourself and develop a deeper understanding of your difficulties. Therapy may help you to change how you think and behave, ultimately improving your relationships and enabling you to lead a more fulfilling and authentic life. I am experienced in supporting clients with the following difficulties:
- Attachment issues
- Anxiety
- Bereavement and Grief
- Poor Body Image
- Depression
- Divorce and Separation
- Eating disorders
- Identity issues
- Interpersonal Relationships
- Life transitions
- Loss
- Low self-esteem and limited confidence
- Motherhood
- Peri-Menopause and Menopause
- Pre-natal and Post-natal issues
- Relationship and Interpersonal difficulties
- Shame
- Spirituality
- Sexuality
- Stress
- Trauma
- Women’s issues
Effective psychotherapy should relieve symptoms and contribute to developing psychological resilience. This may be reflected in the following:
- Increased self-awareness
- Feeling increasingly fulfilled and connected in relationships
- Being emotionally tolerant of oneself and of others
- Experiencing self-acceptance and being more accepting of others
- Feeling present and engaged in the world
- Making healthy and empowered decisions
- Being aware of one’s vision for the future
