Are you ready to give yourself the life you deserve?
You may feel depressed, anxious or overwhelmed by emotions. You may feel disconnected, unable to live in the present. Perhaps you are scared of intimacy or find yourself in destructive relationships. Maybe low self-esteem, shame and guilt are a familiar home to you.
The fact that you have found your way to my website means you are looking for help and you want a better life for yourself.
It takes courage to seek help from a psychotherapist. I’d like to encourage you on this journey and support you in taking the next step in order to work with me.
If you are like many people who come to see me, you may relate to some of these scenarios:
• I feel as if there’s something wrong with me, like I’m not good enough, no matter how hard I try.
• I have constant thoughts and worries about what other people think of me. Sometimes these thoughts are paralysing, making it impossible to make a decision.
• I feel guilty a lot of the time. I’m always trying to find what I did wrong. I apologise a lot, even for the smallest thing. I feel so much shame…
• I avoid people. It’s just easier to be on my own than to deal with the feelings that come up when there are people around me.
Change is possible and a better life is an achievable dream
It is possible to heal the wounds caused by a painful past, build a more confident sense of self and feel in control of your life. It is possible to be free from shame and guilt. Some of the feelings you are experiencing today belong in the past and psychotherapy can help you to find a way to live in the present.
I can guide you and support you in healing
I offer you a safe space in our psychotherapy sessions where we can make sense of your experience and work together to address the struggles you are facing. Together we can tend to your childhood wounds with care and support to help you move through. We can work towards finding a new voice inside yourself that is confident, positive, firm and honouring of who you really are.
Psychotherapy offers you an opportunity to experience safety, care, guidance and support in the context of a relationship. This can in turn translate into other relationships and also help you create a nurturing and caring relationship with yourself.
History is not destiny. With the right support, you can build a better life for yourself and no longer be driven by the legacy of your past.
That is the journey I would like to guide you and support you through.
‘Have respect for yourself, and patience and compassion. With this you can handle anything’.
