How we can help

People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons and in different situations, and usually have a sense of being stuck with something they can no longer deal with.  It might be a problem that has built up over time, or frustrating feelings that keep repeating.  Either way, this can be getting in the way of living your life.
 
Talking to a trained psychotherapist can help to break unhelpful patterns of thinking and aid greater understanding.  You know yourself and your situation best, but a therapist can help see links and patterns you may not have thought of.  You and your therapist work together to find new and more effective ways forward.

​Therapy can help with many different problems, such as:

Anxiety
​Depression
Relationships
Sexuality

​Family Issues
Addictions
Bereavement
Trauma

​Stress
Work issues
Self-image and self-esteem
Suicidal thoughts and self-harm
