About therapy


Increasingly in our times a lot of people find themselves struggling under the pressures of life and not able to find the way towards resolution of their problems and inner conflicts.

Counselling and therapy provide a safe space where, with the help of a supportive and skilled person, it becomes possible to get in touch with our feelings and thoughts and examine them in the light of the totality of our experience.

There are different modalities of therapy but it is generally agreed that the safe and respectful
relationship with a therapist, in which we can be really heard and understood, is the foundation on which the change can be built. It is the support, empathic listening and being able to talk about what is important for us that the therapeutic process is catalysed by. This may allow us to process unresolved feelings, achieve higher awareness of ourselves and arrive at the place from where we are able to make desired changes in our behaviour and start creating our lives in a free and conscious way.

I believe that we are impacted on in our lives by a variety of forces and it is vital to be able to acknowledge all aspects of our experience: traumatic events, family dynamics, childhood memories as well as cultural and social factors.
