Benefits of Therapy
Therapy has been proven to be beneficial at any stage of life.
It can be particularly helpful when you are unhappy with yourself, your relationships or are simply finding life hard. Perhaps you have a difficult decision to make, or have already made one and want to make some sense of it. Spending time talking about and reflecting on your experience can bring clarity. It can be a challenging process but I believe it can lay foundations for a more satisfying and fulfilled life.
In our time together – which can be short-term or open-ended – I hope to foster the feeling that you can say whatever is on your mind. The therapy will be shaped by you and your needs.
I have experience of working with depression; anxiety; self-harm; obsessions; issues of gender, sex and sexuality; relationship problems; illness; life transitions; abuse and trauma.
