Psychotherapy - sometimes just called therapy - is a conversational space that can help you to compassionately identify and explore the parts of you that might be holding you back, and parts that you didn’t know you had.
Psychotherapy is based on the premise that there are hidden aspects within each of us that are really hard for us to see and know by ourselves. We come to know ourselves more fully through relationship.
These hidden aspects influence our experience of ourselves and others: our thoughts, emotions, bodies. They can hold us back from being able to fully experience the beautiful parts of life: the mystery and the magic.
In psychotherapy, the therapist brings an open, curious and non-judgemental stance to you and your world, that can support you to start to see yourself more clearly and more compassionately. Through this process you might also start to feel your sense of self expanding, or even transforming.
Most people engage with me in a psychotherapy relationship with the intention of it being a long-term, transformative, process, and some people choose to come for a shorter, defined period to work on a particular issue.
