Why Psychotherapy
It’s normal to wonder, “Do I really need therapy?” or feel anxious and insecure about seeking help.
Therapy isn’t just for major life events or mental illnesses; it’s a space to unravel and declutter your thoughts, and to embark on a quest for your “forgotten Self.”
Life can be incredibly challenging, and sometimes it feels like no one truly understands what you're going through.
Here are just a few real-life examples of why you might consider therapy and how it can help.
“Sometimes, we encounter stressors that seem like fate or bad luck, leaving us feeling out of control. We might rely on others' evaluations to feel whole or find ourselves stuck in repeating patterns in our relationships.
These subtle signs often indicate underlying processes hidden from our awareness. Therapy offers a supportive environment to explore these issues.”
“Why do my relationships always end in a breakup?”
Therapy can help you uncover patterns in your relationships and understand the underlying issues that might be causing them to end. Together, we can work on building healthier, more fulfilling connections.
Relationship Issues
Loss
Trauma
Stress
“I feel like a bad parent”
Parenting is tough, and many parents struggle with feelings of inadequacy. Therapy can provide support, help you manage stress, and develop effective coping strategies. It also offers a chance to explore and connect with yourself, fostering a healthier self-image and improving your parenting experience.
Depression
Anxiety
“I feel stuck in life.”
Feeling stuck can happen to anyone at any stage in life. Therapy can help you explore what’s holding you back, or what’s behind the feeling, and find motivation to move forward.
Hopelessness
Self-esteem
“I feel like a total loser.”
Low self-esteem and negative self-perception can be debilitating. Therapy can help you challenge these thoughts, build self-compassion, and recognise your worth.
Work Related Issues
“Why is everyone taking advantage of me?”
Feeling exploited or undervalued can erode your confidence and sense of self-worth. Therapy can help you establish healthy boundaries, assert your needs, and develop the confidence to stand up for yourself.
False Self-Care
“I feel burnt out and have no energy despite doing wellness activities”
Therapy can help you uncover the root causes of your burnout, explore your behaviors, including how you set boundaries, and identify any underlying issues that might be contributing to your exhaustion. By working together, we can develop strategies to restore your energy, balance your wellness activities, and help you regain a sense of vitality.
Family issues
“Why is my family always in conflict?”
Family dynamics can be incredibly complex, leading to constant disagreements and tension. Therapy can help uncover the underlying issues contributing to these conflicts, improve communication skills, and develop healthier ways of relating to one another.
Grief
Women’s Issues
“I'm so tired of everyone asking when I'm gonna have kids. Like, I'm not even sure I want them, you know?”
In therapy, we can dig into all that pressure and figure out what you really want for your future. It's a space where you can talk freely without feeling judged, and together, we can work on finding your own path, whether that includes kids or not.
Generational Trauma
“I can't seem to escape the patterns of pain and trauma that have been in my family for generations.”
Generational trauma can deeply affect your well-being and relationships. Therapy can help you understand how these patterns have been passed down, explore the impact they have on your life, and develop strategies to break the cycle. By addressing generational trauma, you can create a path towards healing and healthier relationships for yourself and future generations.
