The reasons behind people seeking therapy are vast. For some, there may be a specific question; for others, it may be the desire to understand some part of themselves that they have been struggling to grasp for some time. We all experience times of difficulty and struggle, and sometimes we may find that familiar ways of coping no longer seem to help, or we notice our patterns with others no longer serve us to feel safe and secure. Therapy is designed to create a safe space, with no agenda, so that we can think carefully about ourselves within the context of our lives to explore understanding and change.

Life’s journey can sometimes take us down daunting and confusing paths. Anxiety/anger, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, and other psychological problems can make it hard for us to take care of ourselves and our loved ones. Relationship problems can cause us to lose touch with ourselves. Struggles in our careers can lead to dissatisfaction and a lack of fulfilment. Identity issues can cause us to become socially isolated, engage in risky behaviours, or have trouble expressing ourselves. These and other painful experiences prevent us from fully living. But adversity can be a powerful catalyst for transformation and growth.

Üzüntüyü,hüznü ya da kederi hayatımızdan tamamen çıkaramayız.Beklenmedik olaylar olur,istenmeyen olaylar yaşanır,durumlar ve kişiler değişir. Nasıl ki uykumuz geliyor ve yorgun oluyorsak, nasıl ki acıkıyor ve susuyorsak, bazen çok iyi haberler alıyor ve bazen derin kayıplar yaşıyorsak, bazen gülüyor bazen ağlıyorsak duygularımız, ihtiyaçlarımız ve deneyimlediklerimiz anlık olarak değişir, gelip geçer... Önemli olan bu duyguların ne kadar sürdüğü ve bizi ne kadar etkilediğidir... Yağan yağmurdan sonra hiç gökkuşağı çıkmıyor, güneş tekrar parıldamıyor, ağaçlar yeniden çiçek açmıyorsa sizin için iklim değişmiş demektir.

Reaching out for therapy isn’t simple especially if expression is where you struggle, revisiting your life’s journey is often the key to greater inner understanding, we revisit the past to gain insight and trigger memories and events often surpressed…..learning to have a voice, is powerful, being clear, making decisions. Childhood is the learning experience, how did you learn to communicate, did you self isolate, are you tired of not being heard. Anger can be aggressive or passive aggressive…..family dynamics often lead to many dysfunctional behaviours, do you struggle relating in relationships, friendships…

Life can be complicated and there are no rules to show you how to navigate and cope with feeling anxious, burdened, lost and alone. In this fast paced world, our culture, traditions, and society can have you feeling trapped, encouraging you to make less time for discovering who you are, accepting how you feel and deciding what you want right now. So, I celebrate that you have found your way here. You have found a place to feel understood, accepted and genuine companionship that you can extend to yourself.

People can find themselves in challenging situations, giving way to certain emotions. The prospect that something may have changed or stopped working can produce the sense of feeling stuck, not knowing what to do can be difficult. Perhaps this has been going on for some time causing effort and exhaustion. This is where therapy can help. I offer genuine warmth, understanding, and togetherness whether your first time or return to therapy. We can look at where you are now and how you got there.

Are you feeling helpless, hopeless, frustrated with life, others or your self? Does life feel like too much at times? Do you find yourself wondering what is the point? Are you anxious? worrying about things that have yet to happen. Dealing with difficult feelings can feel overwhelming and may seem as if you have nowhere to turn or no way out. Deciding to see a counsellor can be a scary thought, thinking about discussing, with a stranger, private and sensitive subjects or even things that may feel shaming. However, making the decision to start therapy can be the first step to empowering yourself to make changes in your life.

I work relationally with the clients I see, aiming to build a shared understanding of their difficulties. Using integrative techniques (including evidence based psychodynamic, existential, humanistic & cognitive behavioural modalities) I focus on encouraging individuals/couples to identify their existing challenges, build an understanding of themselves & their situation, & reflect on why they may feel the way they do. Through this process it is possible to build long term resilience & a more robust sense of self, having identified patterns of relating to others. This includes developing skills & techniques for coping in the future.

The clients that I work with want to learn how to manage their anxiety and excessive stress whilst also learning how to develop a deeper sense of confidence within themselves. Clients often come to me with specific goals in mind such as being able to finally achieve some long held confidence goals that they have in mind, or finally be able to tackle their social anxiety so they can start to take a proactive approach towards dating.
