I believe that therapy is important.

And I know that changing our behavior is hard.

Sometimes we may not know what the problem is, we just know that things aren't right - feeling stressed, depressed, or anxious - and it's getting in the way of living. Or maybe it's that something has happened in the past that's getting in the way of being in the present - perhaps a trauma, maybe losing a loved one or the impact of a relationship. Sometimes, we don't know why we keep continuing with old patterns or old habits even though we want to change. Or, perhaps you know what changes you want to make, and need support while you go through them.

Whatever your situation, I believe therapy offers a valuable pathway to help you step back, evaluate, and gives you the choices to do things differently in your life. Rather than living on auto-pilot, reacting to our environment, therapy offers us the opportunity to change, supporting you to regain control of your life and can provide concrete strategies to help you do so. If you've been wanting to change something, but you're not sure how, if you've been trying but it just hasn't been working, if you're ready to shed old patterns and habits and looking for support to make changes, you might like to consider therapy. Together we can figure out what is holding you back, and where you want to go, and I'll be there every step of the way to support you on your journey to better mental wellbeing.
