Why seek professional help?
Friends and family are the foundation of our lives. We look to them for love and support, and yet they are not always the best people to go to when we have deep issues within ourselves that we need to deal with.
Analytic therapists are trained to listen actively, to bring insights and help you make meaning out of things that perhaps you've never spoken of before, or that you have spoken about many times but talking never seem to make a difference. Taking the time to sit with someone who is committed to hearing and understanding you can change your life in ways beyond imagination.
It is in the context of relationships that we really come to know ourselves. The therapeutic relationship is a safe place to explore who we are, our fears, wishes, thoughts, feelings and our hidden truths.
Some people enter therapy because they want to learn more about themselves, others because they are facing difficulties which may include depression, anxiety, addiction, eating disorders, overwhelming feelings, trauma and abuse, phobias, panic attacks, issues around sexuality, sexual orientation, gender identity, life transitions or sabotaging patterns in relationships.
Analytic therapy acknowledges that early childhood experiences inform the way we move through the world and relate to people. Together we will explore and untangle the past to bring unwanted patterns into consciousness thereby facilitating a more intentional and fulfilled life in the present.
