Can’t I just talk to my friends?

To have a therapist support you to reflect and recognise any challenges you need to overcome? What will strengthen and empower you to integrate changes that can have a positive long term impact on you managing your feelings on a daily basis can be life changing. The process of therapy is not always easy as you may talk about and bring into awareness uncomfortable experiences and emotions that you may have avoided for a long time. This may have been what you needed at the time. The therapist is there to support and facilitate the process of accessing those blocked or uncomfortable feelings. The therapist can keep you focused on you. The old coping mechanism may no longer be working for you and you may now be ready to work through and process the past so you can move forward without carrying all that emotional baggage.

Are you are starting to feel you may have some self-sabotaging patterns or are feeling uncomfortable with changes and transitions in your life and need an unbiased, safe and confidential space to explore everything that is coming up for you? If you have experienced some form of recent or past trauma or abuse and are experiencing symptoms of PTSD or complex-PTSD? If you are living with anxiety and depression and it is affecting you with your daily life, work, relationships and your emotional and psychological well-being then therapy can help.
