About Psychotherapy
Why Should I See a Psychotherapist?
Psychotherapy is one of the hardest yet one of the most rewarding things you can do. Often we find ourselves repeating destructive patterns of behaviour, being angry with those closest to us and feeling no one understands. Psychotherapy can help us understand why this is happening, so that we can change things and make life more manageable.
Psychotherapy can help you develop more effective ways of dealing with life's difficulties. It doesn't always take the pain away, because life can be very painful, but it helps difficult times not feel overwhelming or destructive.Therapy offers a safe and supportive place to explore the things that trouble you and affect your life and relationships, when more help is needed than family or friends can provide. It enables you to open up and be yourself so that together we can understand your problems, which often have their roots in your past, and allow you to resolve issues and conflicts and develop lasting changes.
How Do I Know If Psychotherapy Is Right for Me?
Therapy can help if you feel the need to be heard in a deep way, have difficulties that seem intractable or want to develop a greater self knowledge. Therapy can help if you are:
-
-
- Experiencing emotional difficulties, such as depression, anxiety, stress, panic attacks, psychosomatic illnesses or suicidal feelings.
- Struggling with a loss, such as a bereavement, divorce, redundancy or illness.
- Finding relationships difficult.
- Stuck in unhelpful patterns of behaviour.
- Experiencing difficulties with faith or spirituality.
