We all experience difficult and painful things in life and we all need other people to lean on at times, to help us through some of the more painful or challenging situations or to help us grow into kind, loving people. I consider it a sign of enormous bravery that you’re thinking about coming to see me for therapy and reading my website is the first step on your journey towards feeling better and showing up differently in the world.
Emotional distress can be caused by lots of different things, most commonly: Past experiences, such as challenges with parents, siblings and childhood trauma Concerns about the future, such as the impending loss of a job or loved one Challenges that you are experiencing right now, such as unhappiness in your relationships and feeling down.
Life can feel heavy and bleak, like there’s no hope and that nothing will change. Therapy with a skilled psychotherapist can help you make changes, both in how you feel about life, and more widely. Things that feel overwhelming today will begin to get easier and over time, through our work together, life will get brighter.
