Counselling & Psychotherapy
These are just some of the many reasons why people decide to seek support:
Psychotherapy provides a supportive, non judgmental environment where you can learn about yourself, perhaps even smile at yourself and learn to enjoy being yourself.
You may find that you can't entirely "fix" the problem you came with, but you can learn new ways to think and feel about it, and cope better with what arises in the future.
- Having a problem that's hard to talk about to family or friends . Sometimes professional help assists you to cope better and can give you practical skills and a more positive outlook.
- Having feelings such as sadness anxiety or anger that don't go away, despite your best efforts. Sometimes people know why they are so upset, but sometimes they just don't understand why they feel the way they do. Therapy helps explore the present and the past, tries to get to the root causes of your current problems, and helps you to face up to changes that may need to be made.
- Your own actions or behaviours are worrying you. You may feel you drink too much, feel angry all the time, or are constantly on edge. This may be affecting your relationships at home or at work.
- Dealing with an chronic illness, your own, or that of a family member. This can be a very stressful and isolating experience. Discussing it with a trained professional can bring understanding, clarity and perhaps more acceptance.
- Dealing with ageing, your own or that of a family member. This may entail reviewing past losses or griefs and coming to terms with regrets, whilst also living well in the now and perhaps repairing or healing past traumas. It may be to discuss practical plans for your own future care, so that your wishes are respected and the family are clear about what you want.
