Psychotherapy has the potential to provide great comfort and solace. It can also be challenging. In deciding to come to therapy, you decide to take what you are going through seriously; to prioritize it. Presumably, you have reached the point of asking for help, because there is something you want to overcome or understand, but have been unable to do it alone. As a therapist I aim to make it easier for you to face difficult areas, by providing a welcoming and supportive environment. I also hope that the experience will be helpfully challenging, and that you find it stimulating; that you walk away with something of value. I believe that, on a basic level, putting something into words and exploring it carefully, sometimes painstakingly, with another person has the potential to incite change; experiences are shared, felt, thought about – altered in the process of exchange, and given the capacity to impact life in unforeseen ways.
Please refer to the practice section for further information, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
