Celia (She/Her) has been providing psychotherapy for over 30 years, and loves the work more than ever. She is ready to support your growth, help you discover your strengths, and help you make sense of the sorrow and confusion that trouble you. Your needs and feelings are the keys to your future well-being. In therapy you will unfold a new relationship to those feelings and needs, to understand what you have been trying to tell yourself, .You will discover how you can approach difficult situations with self-knowledge, self-love and skillful tenacity. It will get better. It might get amazing. Give it a chance.
It's hard to feel OK when we're fragmented. It's hard to have energy when it takes effort to keep unwanted parts banished. Especially if we're not aware it's happening. It's hard to feel joy when we've disowned our vulnerability. Since childhood, important people wanted us to be different: not so loud, silly, sad, naughty, mad, afraid, or selfish.
We learned to edit ourselves, with a child's mind. The cost is reflected in apathy, anxiety, or depression. Could there be parts of you crying out to be acknowledged and cared for? Could they hold the secret to your integration and wholeness? Can you find relief, as well as empowerment and growth? I'm here to help. Check out my website for more.......
