“The principle aim of psychotherapy is not to transport one to an impossible state of happiness, but to help (the client) acquire steadfastness and patience in the face of suffering.”

-Carl Jung

 

How can therapy help?

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming and it's no surprise that many clients I've seen have expressed hope for a solution or quick fix to their problems. Though understandable, the unpredictability of life means that challenges are inevitable and although I can't promise a quick fix, through therapy, I can offer you the opportunity to unpack and explore these difficulties and help better equip you to manage these challenges.

Therapy can help to highlight and create new understandings of how historical relationships and events may impact current behavioural patterns and relational dynamics. The therapeutic relationship we build can be seen as means to facilitate the navigation of this process and hopefully, towards positive change.

I have worked with people from various backgrounds and carry a personal awareness of how our differences may impact our experience, perspective of the world, and relationships. In therapy, I attempt to gain an understanding of the world from the client's perspective and create a space in which an individual feels able to explore and work through whatever may be troubling them.

Therapy can help with:

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Identity-related issues (such as sexuality, gender, race, ethnicity, culture or religion)

  • Trauma, PTSD and CPTSD

  • Bereavement and loss

  • Abuse

  • Sex-related issues

  • Relationship difficulties

  • Self-harm

  • Suicidal ideation
