HOW CAN PSYCHOTHERAPY HELP?

More often than not, it is the experience of suffering in one form or another that brings us to psychotherapy.

We may be going through a particularly challenging time in our lives. We may be finding it hard to process, or move forwards from painful experiences in our past, or to manage anxieties about our future. We might be caught in unhelpful patterns of relating to ourselves or others. Or we may feel we are not living life in ways that are true to ourselves. 

Psychotherapy offers us the opportunity to explore our experiences, to be supported in difficult times, and to connect with our inner potential. Within the safety and deep listening of the psychotherapeutic relationship, we can find the space to share, to untangle and process challenging experiences, to connect with ourselves more deeply, and to orient towards wellbeing and possibility.

In many ways, healing is a shift in relationship with ourselves, with those in our lives, and with the environment that surrounds us as a whole. Healing can also be described as an expansion towards our inherent health and wholeness, the experience of which helps us to be more present to our lives, with a greater sense of openness, wellbeing and joy.

“The capacity of the imaginal cells to develop into a butterfly and transform life completely is related to the inner capacity of the human soul to also transform repeatedly in the course of life. In the same sense that the imaginal cells hold all the information and energy for the butterfly to be, there is core imagination and deeper self trying to awaken in the soul of each person.”
