Psychotherapy

“When I look I am seen, so I exist”
— Donald Winnicott

Psychotherapy, the ‘talking cure’ can help with a range of emotional and mental health struggles, including (but not limited to) grief, loss, relationship breakdowns including divorce, low mood, lack of confidence, anxiety, anger, shame, hopelessness, inner conflict, relationship difficulties, family related difficulties, childhood experiences, abuse, sexual abuse, racism, discrimination, physical health, disappointment, lack of purpose and a sense of feeling lost.

It can help you work through both recent and historic traumas. It can also be a very helpful tool with which to explore problems or challenging events/interactions in your life which seem to repeat themselves and which you’d like to better understand and manage differently.

I work with a wide a range of issues and provide clients with the space to explore these with trust, professionalism and confidentiality.

It is through using our words that we unite what is in our mind and our body. Psychotherapy is underpinned by the notion that clients can unearth their emotional troubles through speaking aloud without sensor to a therapist and in doing so they would bring about healing.

Psychotherapy is an introspective experience which in time gifts you with knowledge about yourself.

From having psychotherapy sessions you are offered the space to reflect in the presence of a trusted professional and work through experiences, thoughts and feelings free of judgement. It is also an experience of truly being seen. For many there is a cathartic release from speaking and hearing oneself aloud in a therapeutic setting and this alone is healing. For others, what is beneficial is an opportunity to slow down, gain perspective and make new discoveries about oneself.

This powerful experience can be transformative as it leads to a better understanding of where your emotions come from and a better understanding of yourself.
