You may have been thinking about therapy for yourself for some time now.   If you are reading this you will have already begun to embark on an ‘inner’ journey towards a greater understanding of self, your relationships, past and present, and issues of concern that may be having an adverse impact on your life right now.

Thinking about therapy and making that first contact with the Therapist is a big ‘first step’ whether a first-time user or returning to therapy after a break.   Talking in confidence to a Therapist offers new insights into your situation, the opportunity to work through painful memories in which you may feel ‘stuck, gain an understanding about destructive patterns in relationships as well as being better able to manage ongoing anxieties, negative thinking patterns, depressive thoughts and feelings and any ongoing concerns.

Why not get in touch by telephone, text or email for an initial meeting to talk about any of the above in a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space and at the same time find out whether or not you would like to think about continuing for us to work together.
