Psychotherapy
____

Psychotherapy is a space to explore your thoughts, feelings and life experiences in greater depth, in order to address emotional wounds and discover your inner resources.

It is a space to reflect, develop self awareness and see things from new perspectives. Through therapy we come to recognise how the past is affecting the present and become better equipped to make choices that are not entangled with our past experiences.  Through weekly sessions, I will support you in deepening your inner inquiry and in developing a greater sense of presence in your relationships and life. The most important relationship we will work with, is the relationship you have with yourself.

Psychotherapy and counselling can help with:

• Emotional and mental health difficulties
• Life transitions
• Interpersonal conflicts or relationship difficulties
• Self esteem
• Trauma
• Psychosomatic symptoms
• Seeking greater self awareness

While these words might help us identify what you wish to address, it is always worth keeping in mind that in some cases these might be the symptoms rather than the deeper underlying causes of your difficulties in life. Our work is not always to eliminate and suppress these symptoms but to find a way to better understand what they might be pointing our attention towards. We will work together in search of new ways to engage and relate to your inner world.

Relationships are vessels for growth and healing. Unavoidably, our most intimate connections will hold the clearest mirrors for witnessing ourselves more fully. They will reflect back to us our light and shadow, in ways that can at times be overwhelming and difficult to process.

In our intimate connections, early relational wounds come to the surface and this can be a painful encounter with our past, as well as a valuable opportunity to work through some of our early attachment patterns. Through these intimate later life relationships, we may slowly heal and learn new ways of being close, seen, met and safe.

As relationships move through the different stages, they often accumulate unprocessed dynamics and as a couple moves through its various chapters, it has to negotiate accommodating change, the inevitable signifier of maturing and growing. Sexuality and other intimacy barriers may be difficult to discuss in meaningful ways outside a safe space and container.

In our work together we will explore relational patterns, ways of communicating needs and any barriers to connection. It takes courage to bring the intimacy of one’s relationship to be witnessed by an outsider. Developing safety in the working space between us and working respectfully with what has caused pain and disruption, will support us in holding important discussions that can support your relationship to deepen.
