Why Therapy,
Why Now?
Over time, we may feel a quiet desire to understand ourselves more deeply. A longing for change can emerge, alongside a wish for greater peace within ourselves and a clearer sense of our place in the world.
We might begin to notice familiar patterns that no longer serve us—feeling bored, angry, or ashamed of the ways we repeat the same behaviours or show up in relationships. We may find ourselves making choices that lead to the same heartache and pain, reacting from a version of ourselves shaped by past experiences and long-held ways of coping. At some point, there can be a realisation: I don’t want to live this way anymore. We may feel a pull toward something different—a desire to reclaim our life and begin the sometimes risky, but meaningful, process of getting to know who we truly are. Not who we became in order to survive, but who we are choosing to be now.
Often, there is also a need to give voice to experiences that have left a mark—to acknowledge wounding that has been held quietly or carried alone. Therapy can offer support in this reorientation, allowing space for something softer, more current, and more authentic to emerge. It can be a place to meet the whole of who you are, to discover your own answers, and to begin healing in a way that feels respectful and sustaining.
As a psychotherapeutic counsellor, my intention is to meet you exactly as you are. I aim to offer a space where your vulnerability is welcomed, where you are supported and gently encouraged to explore beneath familiar stories, beliefs, and patterns. Together, we can slow down and attend to what arises for you—within a relationship where you can express yourself freely, feel deeply heard, and experience being held with care and presence.
This is an opportunity to offer yourself time and self-reflection within a supportive environment, to move beyond acting from the negative influences of your past,
to speak your truth, heal, and soothe your pain.
To fully embody the authentic, unique individual you are, to flourish, and create more heartfelt relationships;
to live your life, your way.
