Life can be very challenging at times and we may find ourselves not having the right tools, nor the support system around us to deal with those challenges. We may feel depressed, disconnected, have a difficult relationship with our bodies, with food. We may lack self-esteem. We may not be able to form or sustain relationships with others, have issues around intimacy or commitment. We may carry an impinging sense of being different. At times, we may just want to look deeper into our past and present so that we can move forward to a more fulfilling future and fulfilled, happier self.

It can be difficult to choose a therapist and to understand the various titles therapists go by, as well as the different types of therapies and counselling on offer. However, I personally think one of the most important factors in choosing a therapist is the fit between the client and therapist and whether the relationship feels warm and empathic. My therapeutic style is to identify and build on existing strengths and to offer a safe supportive space to explore current difficulties. Having had my own psychotherapy, I am familiar with what it feels like to be on the receiving end of therapy and I am sensitive to this during my work.

There isn’t really an ideal client in terms of issues or problems. Therapy works whatever the presentation when the connection with the client/patient is a positive one and it becomes a mutual endeavor to feel better. The majority of clients present with wanting help with relationships either getting them or deepening them, this can include physical intimacy and sex and invariably the need to understand themselves in relationships. Many of my clients want to understand the meaning of sex to themselves and any sexual compulsivity that might be going on. People want to be understood and not shamed for their thoughts, actions feelings

Cheam Counselling

My aim is to provide you with a safe, encouraging space to be yourself, in order to work through what you wish to focus on. This may be relationship difficulties, feelings of low self-worth, anxiety, depression or low mood, or a general feeling that you’re stuck and not quite sure why. It can sometimes be hard to justify taking this time for yourself, which ironically, might be a clue that you tend to put others first, neglecting your own needs yet often feeling resentful. You may feel unsure about sharing details of yourself with a “stranger”, but this might be a sign that you often feel judged or are afraid of other’s judgement.

I’m a strong believer that, in the words of Nelson Mandela “there is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living” – yet sometimes life is really quite tough and we find ourselves struggling and this ideal seems far from our reality. You may find yourself feeling emotionally overwhelmed, anxious or lonely. Or, you may have been struggling for some time and haven’t found the motivation to address it but now that struggle may be feeling a little bigger.

Family Therapy Counsellors
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
