Psychotherapy

People often approach a therapist because they feel that there is a problem they are facing in their lives, in their relationships, or within themselves. It is not unusual to find that an individual holds many beliefs and ideas about who they think they are, and how they feel they should be living their lives. These beliefs and ideas are often limiting and viewed as unacceptable, leading a person to a place of distress. 

Whatever the reason is for the distress, the aim must be to enable a person to feel better equipped to deal with life events and gain a greater sense of self-awareness. The focus is not necessarily about fixing and getting rid of something. It is about being able to see the bigger picture of who we are and how we can build a different kind of relationship with ourselves, others and the world around us. In this way, distress can start to fall away, rather than becoming something we feel we have to fight against.
