A question I get asked a lot in my 31 years as a Psychotherapist is:
"๐ธ๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ช๐ด P๐ด๐บ๐ค๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ข๐ฑ๐บ, ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ?"
A lot of people assume therapy is only for when something is โwrongโ like depression, anxiety, or a big crisis. But actually, a lot of the people I and my team work with are doing okay on the outsideโฆ yet feel stuck, unsure, or just a bit overwhelmed by life.
Maybe your career is going well, but it doesnโt feel fulfilling.
Maybe relationships feel tricky.
Maybe youโre questioning choices youโve made or finding yourself overthinking, ruminating, or getting caught up in negative patterns that drain your energy and knock your confidence.
Does any of that sound familiar?
At ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป, our therapeutic approach gives you a space to pause and reflect, really think about your life, your choices, and what matters to you. Itโs not just talking for us, itโs an active, compassionate process where you can explore whatโs holding you back and what kind of life you want to live.
There are so many approaches in therapy: CBT, psychoanalysis, existential workโฆ I donโt see them as competing, but as different ways of looking at the mind and human experience. Often, they complement each other depending on what someone needs as an individual or the couple need.
For me personally, my work is rooted in a humanistic and existential perspective, with compassion at the centre. That means I focus on you as a whole person helping you connect with your values, understand your thoughts and feelings, and make choices that feel authentic and empowering.
At ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป, we have male and female therapists who practice person centred therapy, CBT, as well as psychosexual therapy and many others.
Some of the things people come to us for most often are:
๐ซค Feeling stuck in work or life, like theyโre just going through the motions
๐ซค Overthinking or ruminating on negative thoughts
๐ซค Low confidence or self-doubt
๐ซค Relationship challenges or communication struggles
๐ซค Navigating big life transitions or uncertainty
๐ซค Loss, grief, and change
๐ซค Fertility and parenting
๐ซค Addictionsโand so much more
Through therapy, people often start to notice patterns they hadnโt seen before, understand themselves more deeply, and gain clarity and courage to take meaningful action. Itโs about living deliberately, making conscious choices, and building a life that feels aligned with who you really are, rather than just reacting to life or other peopleโs expectations. Does this make sense?
In short, therapy at ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป isnโt about fixing you. Itโs about helping you understand yourself, work through whatโs holding you back, and step into a life that feels freer, happier, and more fulfilling. For us it all starts with a conversation, a safe, attentive space where you can explore without judgement.
Soโฆ have you ever wondered what it would feel like to pause and really explore your life like that? Iโd love to hear your thoughts and whatโs one area in your life where youโve felt a bit stuck lately?
Reach out and we can help with online and in person appointments for individuals and couples. We have daytime and evening sessions available and all available on a sliding scale of costs.
