Guiding You to A Better Life

Everybody sometimes needs someone to help them deal with the curve balls that life throws their way. And that is what psychotherapy is all about. It is about you and your life! And about someone that can help you negotiate…

• Pain, trauma and loss in your life;
• Inner realities that upset your life
  like anxiety,  fear and anger;
• Clinical syndromes (such as
  depression, bipolar disorder,etc.)
  that impact your life extensively;
• Stuck states you experiences as
  a result of circumstances;
• The emotional scars left by past
  experiences, and
• Disrupted interpersonal relationships.

But psychotherapy is about more than that. It is also about helping you…

• Regain and foster balance in your inner and outer lives;
• Get the necessary clarity to make important life choices;
• Making progress on your journey of personal growth, unleashing your potential and creating a fulfilled life, and
• Build/rebuild relationships with the ones you love.
• The role of the psychotherapist is to create the environment  that will help you work with any or all of these areas in your life. He/she does that by
• Creating a safe and confidential place where you can speak your mind, explore your inner experiences and outer realities, and find new and more useful ways of dealing with difficulties;
• Creating an atmosphere where you are fully accepted and free to explore your own issues and be your real self;
• Working in collaboration with you and empowering you to move forward;
• Helping you heal your inner brokenness; and
• Co-creating a compelling future with and for you.

Why you should see a clinical psychologist (psychotherapist)…

There are many good reasons why you may choose to see a therapist. The following reasons may be included in yours:

• Being in a safe environment where you can share your own personal stories, even though it may be embarrassing, knowing that it will be kept in total confidence.
• Sharing the feeling that something is wrong with you and that you cannot seem to understand what it is. Therapists are trained to approach your concerns in a caring and sensitive manner and to identify any possible serious conditions. Therapy is for people who realise that they may need help and is willing to act on that thought.
• The need to meet with someone who will approach your personal pain and fear of the future in a professional, therapeutic and caring manner.
