How can psychotherapy help you?

Psychotherapy is a voyage of self-discovery which allows us to uncover the origins of the emotional wounds we have sustained over our lifespan as well as the defences we have developed in response. This gives us insight into the way our defences may be distorting our relationships and preventing us from living our lives to the full.

Psychotherapy is a collaborative exploration between therapist and client which involves coming to terms with past experiences and gaining insight into their lasting impact on present day living.

Psychotherapy offers an opportunity to process and heal our emotional wounds and tend to our unmet needs for emotional sustenance.  Psychotherapy is a space to develop self-compassion and to make peace with the inner critic which may be leading us to self-sabotage and low self-worth.

Insights gained from therapy into both conscious and unconscious aspects of ourselves, enable us to understand how patterns of behaviour which may be troubling us evolved, identify scenarios which trigger us into emotional meltdown and find ways to manage our emotions rather than being overwhelmed and hijacked by them.

Ultimately, psychotherapy equips us with greater self-knowledge as well as ways of managing and taking care of our vulnerabilities.
