People seek therapy for all sorts of reasons – for support with relationship issues, stress, low mood, anxiety, trauma; to work through loss in its many forms; for support during times of transition; for help in working through unresolved business from the past.  We can wind up feeling stuck, as though we have lost our flexibility for responding to life’s challenges, falling back on old patterns of behaviour - which may have helped in the past, but now don’t seem to be bringing satisfaction.  Family and friends are a great resource, however, we sometimes need somebody independent of our familiar support system to work things through with. Having the space to tell our story is so important, as is being heard in that process, by an attuned therapist.

With the right support, I believe we all have the creativity within us to develop more satisfying ways of meeting the demands of our daily lives, so that we can move forward more rewardingly.
