About therapy
Both counselling and psychotherapy are ‘talking therapies‘ that can be helpful to people who are experiencing psychological or emotional distress. Talking therapies are an effective process for personal development and change.
“Freedom is what you do with what’s been done to you”

How we will work together …
You are in control at all times and we will work at your own pace.
We will work on increasing your self-awareness and insight, helping you to improve confidence, develop emotional intelligence and become more effective at work and in your personal relationships.
Through talking about your life-experience both now and in the past, or perhaps interpreting your dreams, we can identify consistent influences and patterns that you may not be aware of. These patterns usually develop as a result of our early life experiences and have long since been forgotten or pushed out of conscious awareness.
This approach enables us to go beyond the surface symptoms and deal with the underlying root cause. Then, when you are ready – and only if you want to – we can work on how you might change and be able to sustain that change.
