I like to describe the process of therapy to clients as the unpacking and re-packing of a messy suitcase. There may be things in there that have been actively avoided and possibly some things that have been forgotten about altogether. Through gentle and curious exploration, the suitcase is opened; things are taken out and safely examined. Coming face to face with that which has caused pain can be frightening but it needn't be done alone. The re-packing of the suitcase allows for the healing and acceptance of that which has been pushed away from the mind but is still stored in the body. Things will start to feel lighter and clearer.

Our past and present are intimately linked by our memories. Our memories are heavily influenced and based on feelings we had surrounding an event or experience. These experiences may be impacting your life right now, even the ones that might seem irrelevant or insignificant. If we don't become aware of this connection it will keep affecting our future, which over time can cause us stress. Prolonged stress can manifest itself in physical forms, including illness, lack of energy, problems with sleep, headaches, depression and anxiety. When you are mentally healthy you are able to handle life's challenges.

Quite often we are our own worse critic. Do you take better care of others than you do yourself? Do you feel that people don't really know the "real" you? And if they did see the real you, they wouldn't like you? Do you keep finding yourself in relationships that feel toxic? Do you feel deep down that there is something not quite right? Do you wish for a time when you could feel happy and content and relaxed with just being yourself? Therapy can help you feel more compassionate towards yourself so that you stop giving yourself such a hard time.

If you are struggling with stress, anxiety or are having relationship difficulties, daily life can feel very hard. Low mood can make you feel lonely or isolated: perhaps you find yourself putting on a pretence that everything is okay...when the reality is very different. You might be unclear about what is troubling you. As an experienced psychotherapist, I provide affordable therapy in a confidential and safe environment, helping you make sense of how you’re feeling. Counselling can also give you practical ways of coping; I will work at your pace during sessions so that you feel truly heard and accepted, not judged.

I offer a warm space in which you can tell your story and feel heard, and together we can work to make sense of it. However far back your story goes or whether you have only felt this way for a short time, if things have begun to feel too much for any reason, perhaps I can help. Taking the decision to speak to a professional and commit yourself to feel better takes courage and shows self-respect. It is not a sign of weakness.

This could be the way you perceive yourself, your relationships with others, or your world. It can be difficult to know where to turn in times like this and sometimes you can feel very alone with your own experiences, struggling to open up to those around you for fear of being burdensome, not understood or accepted.
