Therapy can support you to explore your feelings in a safe space where you can identify healthy and unhealthy behavioural and relational patterns, self-destructive and self-sabotaging or positive emotional cycles, and design the change you wish to introduce in your life.
I believe therapy is a journey client and therapist embark on together which is part of the encompassing journey which is life. At times, we experience the difficulties of this journey and the need to share them. Here, therapy can be of support. With the therapist, you can explore how and why difficulties arise, what are the triggers of stuckness or anxiety, what is worrying or painful. Therapy can also help to identify what can make your journey more enjoyable and support you in defining the direction you want to take to move forward.
Therapy is a journey and therefore I believe that therapy is about engaging with a process rather than treating an issue. However, during our journey we might encounter the following issues and feelings:
- Abuse
- Anger issues
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Bereavement and loss
- Confidence and self-esteem
- Depression
- Early childhood issues
- Eating disorders
- Feeling stuck
- Gender diversity and sexuality
- Relationship difficulties
- Stress
- Trauma
- Work issues
While the therapy journey unfolds, I believe that the psychotherapy space creates a space for developing self-awareness and achieving change and personal growth.
I appreciate accompanying people in their journey towards growth.
I respect and listen non-judgmentally to the material you bring to therapy because I believe that feelings, thoughts, behaviours and actions – whatever their source or nature – contribute positively to the journey of self-discovery. I treat this material with respectful confidentiality.
I abide by the European Transactional Analysis Code of Ethics whose primary principles are of respect, empowerment, protection, responsibility and commitment in the relationship. My practice is rooted in the recognition of its basic values of dignity, self-determination, health, security and mutuality.
