Sadness, unhappiness, worry, stress, fear can weigh us down.
Being able to make sense of these feelings can allow us to feel less alone, less distressed and less overwhelmed.
Meeting with a therapist provides a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space where we can explore and think about your situation together. Therapy can allow you to make sense of your own story and experiences, as often it is our past stories that prevent us from doing the things we would like to do with our lives.
What Can Therapy Help With:
Difficult Feelings and Experiences
When we have had difficult or traumatic experiences, we are often influenced by them in the here and now, making it difficult for us to lead happy and fulfilled lives. In therapy one can begin to make sense of these experiences, the impact they have had on one’s life and integrate the memories to help one move out of the past and into the present.
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based psychotherapy intervention which is very effective for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD )and other difficulties.
Bereavement and Loss
When we have lost a loved one, suffered pregnancy losses, or even the loss of a child it can feel overwhelming and it can impact your day to day life and your relationships.
Other types of losses including divorce, ending of a relationship or even a loss of one’s job can affect one’s sense of self. Therapy can support you through this process and provide a space to talk about your feelings and the impact the loss has had on your life.
"Grief is in two parts. The first is loss.
The second is the remaking of life" - Anne Roiphe
