Psychotherapy and Counselling - Milton Keynes - Woburn Sands - Bedford
What can I expect from the sessions?
We will explore your aims and what you wish to get out of the therapeutic work. As the work progresses I will help you to develop insight into the dilemmas you are facing, and the self-sabotaging patterns that may be occurring. You will be encouraged to reflect on your thoughts, feelings, reactions and behaviours, and sometimes these may be challenged empathically, with humour and sensitivity. The therapeutic process and our relationship will help you create a deeper understanding of what is maintaining your distress and unhappiness, and the context in which it happens.
Coming into therapy might seem like a big step and it may be difficult to admit you need help and support. It is a misconception that you can work out problems on your own and it takes courage to admit that. We all need support, and objectivity at some time in life. You may have questions or concerns about how psychotherapy will impact upon you personally and with other key relationships in your life. Whatever your concerns are, I am happy to speak to you over the telephone to take the time to answer any questions you have without any obligation to set up sessions.
