Anxiety, low mood, finding it hard to cope – Life can feel stressful! Life Story Psychology provides a place to better understand what’s going on for you. It’s a space to explore how our current experiences link to earlier life circumstances, our attachment and relationship experiences, possible traumas, and sense of self and self-worth. By exploring our values, our primary needs, emotional experiences and general coping, we discover our true selves, become more aware of how we function and how to nurture our body and our mind - to heal, to learn, to find contentment.
