From our earliest days we each perceive the world in a uniquely personal way. This sets up internal processes, habits and ways of being and relating. They are underpinned by the way we see others and the way we see ourselves. These internal processes are often valuable and protect us from the challenges we face as we develop, but they can become unhelpful and even damaging as our lives progress. They are often magnified by life circumstances such as loss, relationship breakup, illness and chronic mental or physical pain. We can find ourselves distressed, unhappy and stuck, often for long periods.
As a therapist I focus on creating a safe space for my clients, offering warmth and non-judgemental connection so that they can explore what is going on for them.
