About Therapy

What is therapy

Therapy is a place where we can explore your feelings and any difficulties that are troubling you. In confidential meetings we work together to look to understand what is happening, and why you are affected by certain things. Through understanding what is going on in your mind, therapy can help you access new skills, options and abilities.

Therapy is a creative process involving exploration, discovery and finding out what is most useful for you. It works best when if feels ‘alive’, which helps us to give a sense that change is possible.

The first meeting

The first consultation is an opportunity to look at what is causing you difficulties or concerns, and work out what kind of help is most useful for you. It’s also a chance to get to know each other, and a first opportunity to ask questions and speak about any concerns you may have about therapy. There is no obligation to continue with therapy after the first meeting, and sometimes it’s best to arrange a second meeting before deciding whether to commence regular therapy.

How therapy works

During therapy we expect to understand more about what is happening in your life, including your feelings, beliefs and patterns of experience.

Over time the relationship with the therapist may also become a place where events and feelings from the past can resurface, and this can allow a different type of understanding to emerge, perhaps for the first time. These processes can involve an unconscious process, and can bring up feelings within the therapy; these types of thoughts and feelings can be important, and helpful to talk about with the therapist.

Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions about therapy, and I’ll be happy to hear from you.
