How do I Know if I Need Talk Therapy?

"The experience of being understood, versus interpreted, is so compelling you can charge admission"
Joseph Pine, author of 'The Experience Economy'

Are You ...

• feeling lonely, anxious or depressed?
• struggling with anger, jealousy or grief?
• having trouble forgiving someone for a transgression?
• feeling guilty about your own thoughts or actions?
• behaving in ways that don't fit with your usual patterns?
• having feelings or thoughts that are out of control, hard to understand or disturbing?
• having challenges with an important relationship such as your partner or your children?
• dealing with a family conflict, a difficult life transition, the death of a loved one, a life-threatening illness, divorce, separation or a mid-life crisis?
• unable to accept yourself, to love yourself, for who you are?
• wishing to explore spiritual issues such as your faith, life views or life purpose?

Using the power of Talk Therapy, I can help you address:

Your emotional struggles should never be down-played.

They can have a profound effect on your ability to function and can be highly incapacitating. Unless you deal with your feelings, thoughts and behaviors head-on, and with the help of a professional, you may be less able to focus on your work, unable to think clearly, and may have a harder time developing healthy relationships. Find out more about the dangers of hiding your feelings.

As a trained psychotherapist, I CAN help you...

• gain a broader, more realistic perspective on the challenges you face.
• understand the potential causes of your distress, slowly uncovering deeply buried feelings which, when left alone, can fuel your pain even further.

The secret to emotional healing is to...

• face your pain
• understand your feelings
• make meaning of them and the events surrounding or causing your pain
• be persistent
• transform your feelings so that you can find a more positive, effective way of living

Only then can you move past your present state and find a life that is richer, fuller and more deeply satisfying.
