What would you do without that sadness? Will we find out? Sadness has many faces: anxious, depressed, traumatised, angry. Well 10 years of formal training (Clinical Psychologist) tells you I’m patient, sincere, and ready to hold it all gently while we detangle it together. The gift is seeing your situation from higher ground. You move past the tricky mind, onto peace and flow. BYO anguish & confusion, take away stillness. Clin. Psychs use gold-standard methods to help you look afresh, identify where you're stuck, and connect you with change. It's not magic, it's settling your hurts and following a clear intention. See for yourself.
Therapy is supremely practical but also virtuous! Yet those unsure how to relate to their feelings often see therapy as a 'sign of defeat'. Wow - this misconception doesn't just scare the horses! I'm here to ease your pain, not judge you. Therapy is the choice of gutsy, reflective, self-determined humans who understand that today is not a dress rehearsal.
If ready, I'm poised to hear what happiness looks like for you. I set aside phone time to chat with people contemplating therapy. If you're NOT ready but want to get a handle on the profession/s, qualifications, therapies, nuts and bolts, I'm happy+ to 'translate' in that way. (No fee, RSPCA donation if you like). Re therapy itself, tell me if in $hardship.
