Thoughts & reflections
This is where I share reflections on therapy and the kinds of experiences that bring people to counselling. I hope you find something here that resonates.
Many people come to their first session unsure of what to expect. Here I try to demystify the process what we talk about, how sessions are structured, and what it might feel like in those early sessions.
Most of us have an internal voice that judges, compares, and finds us wanting. Understanding where that voice comes from and learning to relate to it differently can be genuinely transformative.
We are often told that grief has stages, or that it should ease after a certain amount of time. In my experience, grief is far more unpredictable and far more individual than those frameworks suggest.
Attachment theory offers a compelling lens for understanding why we behave the way we do in close relationships, why we pull away, cling on, or find intimacy so difficult.
Sometimes, despite our best intentions, we seem to find ourselves in relationships that leave us feeling much the same way as before. You might wonder why you keep making the same choices, or question why you find it so difficult to do things differently.
The word therapy can sound quite intimidating and we might have all sorts of fears as to what it is and what might happen. At it's most basic level, it's merely a focussed conversation, where one person is talking more and the other person is listening more.
