Sometimes, we might find ourselves experiencing difficulties in life. This might involve close relationships, work and feelings of being under intolerable stress or a pressure to be a certain way in life. Often, difficulty in coping with life’s stresses may have roots in how we learned to relate to others in our very early relationships.

At best, this may leave us with a pressure to conform to an imagined ideal that might leave us feeling incapacitated and unable to fully engage in our lives and in our relationships with others.

At worst, the residue of past traumatic experience may lead to having to live with mental pain, anguish and distress that can seem to stop us living and may lead to an experience of isolation.

Psychotherapy often involves having to talk about emotionally painful and difficult experiences but if your life and current relationships are suffering because of unresolved life events, then an investment in a psychotherapy treatment can help things change. Making lasting and enduring change in your life, takes time.

The main thrust of my work is to provide an environment where current difficulties can be explored and new life options can be thought about and tried out.

Group Psychotherapy is a cost effective method of psychotherapy. It is like a living laboratory where previous unsatisfying ways of communication can be let go of and new, more open ways of communicating with others can be tested and tried out.
