HOW PSYCHOTHERAPY WORKS
Is psychotherapy right for you?
Psychotherapy is a safe and effective way to explore the many emotional, practical, and psychological issues in your life. It can help you develop new perspectives and purpose whilst nurturing a deeper sense of self, more meaningful relationships, and ultimately change.
In our sessions, we will approach all of this in a collaborative, conversational way, remaining open, reflective, and curious about what emerges.
I offer weekly sessions that happen on the same day, at the same time, each week. This helps build trust in a safe, boundaried, and consistent environment.
People often ask, what is the difference between psychotherapy and counselling?
I have heard it said that counselling is for when you have a problem in your life, and psychotherapy is for when life feels like a problem.
Psychotherapy is usually longer term or open-ended due to the depth of the work. It will involve an exploration of your story, the underlying issues that have brought you here, and how you experience connection and relationships. There may be acute or immediate issues that you want to explore too. As you can imagine, this is not a linear process, but it can be deeply rewarding.
Many people embarking on therapy ask, will it 'fix' them? It's a good question. Of course, deep down we all know there is no magic wand or short-cut. Whilst some therapeutic techniques can be cathartic, and can help us reframe particular issues, I also hold that psychotherapy is about taking time to explore human complexity, and what it means to be you.
Please take a look at my blog where I answer questions people often ask as they embark on psychotherapy.
