Why therapy?
Although perhaps a little daunting at first, therapy offers an excellent opportunity for exploring a variety of emotional issues - a chance to gain insight.
Over time you can learn a lot about yourself in an atmosphere of trust and confidentiality. Usually meeting once a week, or more frequently if desired, individually or as a couple.
Therapeutic factors in therapy
Therapeutic change is a complex process, but the following factors are particularly important...
• Discovering and accepting previously unknown or unacceptable parts of myself
• Being able to say what was bothering me instead of holding it in
Self understanding is the goal most people will say is their primary reason for undergoing therapy. The basis for this is to learn something important from your behaviour - why you behave the way you do and how you got there, your assumptions, motivations and fantasies.
Benefits of therapy
• Acceptance - sense of belonging and being valued
• Universality - discover you are not unique with your problems
• Hope - sense of optimism about the potential to benefit from treatment
• Guidance - useful advice, suggestions, explanation and instruction
• Self understanding - learn about yourself through feedback or interpretation
• Self disclosure - reveal highly personal information
• Catharsis - release intense feelings, bringing sense of relief
• Existential factors - realise together the larger questions of life
What to expect at your first meeting...
Meeting people for the first time can be disconcerting but it can also be refeshing - and sometimes it’s easier to talk to someone new.
It can also be a great weight off your shoulders - at last you’ve started to do something positive about your situation.

“Down that dark crevasse, I learnt that sometimes we really need each other. And that is OK. We are not designed to be islands. We are made to be connected. When we show chinks it creates bonds, and where there are bonds, there is
strength.” (Bear Grylls)
FAQs
How long will I need to attend therapy?
The aim of therapy is to give you back your own freedom of choice, so you can become self-sufficient and in charge of your life. You must give yourself time and allow any change to develop - as long as it takes.
Will you tell my boss or GP?
Under very strict professional standards, no information whatsoever is released to any third party without signed written permisssion from yourself.
“There are many ways of getting strong,
sometimes talking is the best way.” (Andre Agassi)
