Welcome to Shall we talk?
When we encounter distressing experiences our whole focus can be on surviving them. We can form patterns of thoughts and behaviour which get us through, but which sometimes continue unnoticed into our later lives. This is functional whilst the distress is present but may become an obstacle to our future wellbeing and relationships if it becomes our fixed pattern of relating.
Counselling/Psychotherapy offers us a safe means to explore our thoughts and behaviours, identifying those which are unhelpful and hinder our functioning/relating. Once identified, we can work on change, letting go our past defences, setting ourselves free to live the lives we choose.

I routinely seek feedback from my clients and, those who have completed evaluative tools at the beginning and end of our work together have all reported significant improvements in their well-being. For some, that might mean that their symptoms of anxiety or depression are reduced or more manageable, whilst for others it may mean a problem overcome and a whole new sense of identity, competence or freedom to make choices.
Don't take my word for it, you can read what the NHS says about the benefits of talking therapy by clicking this link - NHS Moodzone, Benefits of talking therapy.
