Taking the step to start therapy or even continuing with therapy can be difficult. It can mean unboxing the past that you have been holding on or realising that change needs to be done that you may not be ready for. Maybe you feel stuck, or are struggling with difficult emotions, overthinking, past trauma, life changes, relationship difficulties or doing more or less of certain things. A lot of times this also translates into difficulty connecting with others, trouble making decisions or just getting through the day.
I follow a systemic, person-centred approach that is mindful of cultural, ethnic, and economic concerns. As no two people are the same, treating every individual and their concerns and opinions as unique and vital is essential for me. I aim to collaboratively work with my clients to determine approaches and strategies that fit best for them.
Taking the first step can be scary and overwhelming. I will work with you to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and accepted and we deal with the tough stuff together to begin to process and understand and work to resolve concerns, and adopt more adaptive and healthy patterns.
