Individual Counselling

Are you seeking support to address a variety of challenges and navigate the complexities of past experiences that affect your self-relationship and connections with others?

Many individuals find solace in therapy as they confront issues they have long avoided, realising that it is no longer sustainable or conducive to the relationships they are seeking cultivate. Whether you are tackling longstanding issues, navigating a crisis, or undergoing significant life changes, therapy can empower you to delve into your inner world, understand the path that led you here, and embrace self-acceptance as a catalyst for growth and healing.

Our approach is to work collaboratively with you to increase insight, make the unconscious conscious, and help you learn to be with your pain in a way that is present and embodied. We do this by exploring your defense mechanisms, internal conflicts, your relationship patterns, and how your early life experiences have informed the way you relate to yourself, others and the world around you.

It’s through this exploration that we begin to understand why you show up in the world the way that you do, cultivating self-compassion and reducing feelings of shame.

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Our brains naturally create a map of the world based on prior experiences. These maps influence our relationship with ourselves, our bodies and the world.

Psychotherapy involves exploring the profound impact of these past experiences, unraveling the threads that shape your sense of self. Together we delve into the meanings you attached to these experiences, gaining insight into their influence on your identity and connections with others.

In therapy, we process thoughts, feelings, and experiences in the present moment. By exploring your emotional landscape and identifying patterns, you will become equiped with the inner resources you can call on when needed. We work on developing new psychological structures, reshaping your expectations of relationships, and fostering resilience and openness to face life's challenges.

“The therapeutic relationship acts as a container, holding the client's emotions, vulnerabilities, and challenges. It provides a safe space for exploration, growth, and the development of new perspectives."
