Counselling and Psychotherapy can help you to gain a better understanding of who you are, the experiences which have shaped you and the beliefs and behaviours which may be affecting your life. This level of self-awareness can help you to find acceptance and/or the resolve to make changes to your life.

In practice, this process can involve an exploration of some of the below areas:

​

-Building a supportive and trusting client-therapist relationship

-Providing a confidential and non-judgemental space to tell your story

-Identifying, expressing and exploring thoughts, feelings and somatic experience

-Understanding the sources and triggers of your beliefs, values, emotions, behaviours and fears

-Identifying your coping and defence mechanisms

-Challenging ingrained assumptions and ways of being, re-writing the narrative

-Understanding yourself, your needs and learning to prioritise self-care

-Developing new and healthy habits, mindsets and behaviours

-Collaboratively designing tools and practices to help you manage feelings and build resilience 

-Coming to terms with and processing past experiences and trauma

-Getting to know your different parts, softening the inner critic and building self-awareness

-Exploring unconscious processes

-Developing self-esteem and a sense of agency in your life

Through this process of exploring thoughts and feelings, attending to unconscious processes and gaining clarity around how our past shapes us, we can begin to heal our wounds, unmask our true selves and find ways to live our most authentic and fulfilling lives.
