Various talking therapies are recommended to support our mental health, each with its own particular theory and practice. Recognising that we need help is a great start, but knowing just where to go from there can be its own challenge.

 

For many, psychotherapy is helpful not only because it works towards strategies that address our everyday struggles – it helps us to understand just who we are. Our emotions and behaviours are complex, and to make sense of them, we often need to take a longer view of ourselves and our personal histories.

 

By working with a psychotherapist, you can start exploring these questions together, building a sensitive and constructive conversation that gets to the heart of how you think, feel, and act. Examining the intricacies of who we are can seem overwhelming, but psychotherapy provides a safe, supportive environment to explore these complex connections and find a way forward.
