Psychotherapy
Deciding to see a therapist is an important step that requires courage as well as acceptance of the difficulties that life might have confronted you with. However, it is not unusual for people to feel anxious when having to book the first appointment. These feelings are normal and a sign that you are starting the therapeutic work.
Anxiety and Awareness of something not quite working is the first step in finding a solution and although there are a myriad of myth surrounding therapy, there is also a great deal of evidence and testimonies that show that it works.

How does therapy work?
Psychotherapy implies collaborative dialogue between an individual and a therapist. This work is carried out in a professional and supportive environment conducive to exploring and identifying thoughts and patterns of behaviours that prevent you from moving forward and keep holding you back.
Through the course of the treatment these unhelpful thoughts gradually loosen up and are replaced by new ones more in line with what makes you feel at your best.
What to expect by the end of treatment?
Psychotherapy, can help us to know ourselves better, to better express what we want and to reach our goals. It can also help us find our compass when we are feeling confused and unable to make decisions.
Not only would you have managed to grapple with the problem that brought you to therapy but by the end you of the treatment you will be better equipped to deal with your personal issues, and be more able to deal with challenges that life might bring.
