why therapy?

It is not always possible, desirable or helpful to talk to friends and family, especially when we are going through a difficult time. Therapy is a unique, safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings alongside a trained, supportive psychological therapist. The process of therapy helps you to gain greater understanding of issues which may be affecting your life, both past and present.  

Psychotherapy and counselling can help anyone, at any age or stage in life to achieve positive change and find ways to lead a more fulfilling life. 

There are multiple well documented benefits to talking therapy, such as:

• Stress relief and management
• Less anxiety
• Enhanced wellbeing
• Less overwhelmed
• Greater self-awareness
• Newly gained perspective
• Address unhealthy or self-defeating behaviours

• More sense of connection and purpose
• Greater self-acceptance
• Increased assertiveness
• Ability to set boundaries 
• Better relationships
• Helping to cope with trauma
• Insight into life dilemmas, conflicts and choices
• Greater self-confidence
