Counselling Psychotherapy For Individuals, Couples & Families

I work with people presenting with a variety of difficulties including depression & anxiety, PTSD, and low self-esteem. These are all big umbrella terms yet in reality each person has their own unique life-story and set of difficulties. If we think about it – most of our problems are relational. It may look and feel like our difficulties are caused by external forces yet the suffering we experience is usually coming from our own inner dynamic.

Our current difficulties tend to stem from our learnt patterns of relating. These can include beliefs about our self, who others are and what we can expect from the world. We learn how to relate to our self and others in the same way as we learn our native language. The entire process is done out of conscious awareness. It is called implicit learning. We then continue to relate to others in this way – which inevitably leads to us to not getting the intimate connection that we are all yearning for.

The reality is that the cause is within us is. The good news is that we can establish a new supportive inner dynamic. We are capable of establishing a life-state in which we feel good about ourselves. This will then be reflected back to us by those around us and our environment generally.
