There are many reasons why someone might seek out a therapist and this initial process can seem daunting, scary and confusing.
You may feel stuck, aware something needs to change. Overwhelmed by something from your past or something that has occurred recently or suddenly in your life.
A confidential, impartial and safe space to express, explore, understand and connect with your thoughts and feelings might be just what you need right now. Allowing yourself to be heard in a professional and confidential space.
I work long and short term aiming to develop resilience and exploring your options for change.
