Therapy offers a unique kind of space. It is a safe space in which you can speak with someone who is impartial, who will not judge you, who offers empathy and can help guide you by listening to what is said and what is unsaid. Clients often report just being able to talk and say things our loud as being helpful for processing and understanding.

Therapy however can go beyond this, it can facilitate the courage to explore areas that may otherwise feel threatening, but these can be the very areas that require confrontation because they may be influencing patterns of behaviour that you wish to change. So, in short, therapy can be a liberating experience, it can help you to feel safe enough to work through feelings and lead to insights and learning about yourself, and why you feel as you feel, and do as you do. This can lead to self-awareness, and choice, with the help of your therapist you can learn new ways, this may involve psychological strategies. In this way, therapy can have far reaching effect, improving your experience of your sense of self, your relationships, and your life and world.

People are sometimes advised by people they know that therapy may benefit. They may be struggling with anger, anxiety, depression, or a ‘disorder’. Or it might be because you are feeling stuck in life, or apathetic about it. You may also be struggling with something that has happened, for example, the breakdown of a relationship, or death. Or it could be that you are finding it difficult to cope with trauma. Another reason people might choose therapy is to understand themselves better, for self-improvement.

There are many reasons why someone might decide to seek therapy. Essentially, if you are feeling that you could benefit from healing, growth, or change in your life, therapy may be the best decision you make.
