Change Yourself. Change Your Life

AREAS OF FOCUS

Flow Through Change

Negotiating Life Transitions

Things change. It’s one of the things we can be sure of in life. Looking back over our lives we see that we are not who we were as children, as teens etc. In fact we are not exactly who we were last year, last month or even yesterday.

The cycles of our life bring change, welcomed and feared. If we are unhappy we hope for change and if we are happy we hold tight to what we are attached to. The trick to life is how we respond to the inevitable changes in our lives and use them for opportunities for growth and freedom.

Whether you are looking for love, living a marriage or letting love go, attuning your life to your children or letting them grow and go, finding, developing or changing a career, talking to an empathetic therapist can help you use the energy of change to catapult you into your unexpected but satisfying future.

Be Known, Seen and Heard

Create better relationships

So much of what we find difficult in our relationships is a reminder of what we didn’t get or how we were hurt in our earliest relationships. In fact we often unconsciously marry someone like our mother or father in the hope for repair. When we feel that yet again we are deprived or slighted, we can become withdrawn, angry or demanding.

When we are helped to tease out the feelings from the past from our present reality there is more potential to make meaningful changes in the here and now. If we can then reach out with interest, empathy and compassion, we have a greater chance of getting our needs met and of feeling truly connected to others. Through therapy we come to know ourselves and to use this knowledge to navigate the world of relationships

Discover Your Resilience

Recover after Heartbreak

First you grieve. You find a safe space here that can contain all your sorrow. Gradually you become aware of the reverberation of earlier painful losses. You are helped to heal from the past and current trauma, the absence and heartbreak. By talking through all memories, thoughts and feelings you can eventually take small steps forward into a world that offers new possibility.

Redefine Yourself

Life after Divorce

When people divorce, they experience a profound loss of identity.They are no longer a wife or husband, a role that has defined them for however long. In therapy you are helped to untangle the threads of a combined history and to grieve for what has been lost. You can use the time and space to discover and strengthen parts of yourself that have always been there and to weave a new life and new relationships based on knowing that self.

Loving You

Finding self compassion

We are all told that one of the most important spiritual steps is forgiveness. But the first person you need to forgive is yourself. Buddha says that the person in this world who needs the most love from you is you. This is hard for many of us to do. When we can learn in therapy to accept and love ourselves, we become more capable of forgiving others and of giving and receiving love.

Find Your Courage

Overcome self limiting beliefs

In therapy as we review the trajectory of our lives and the things we wished we could have done or the still elusive goals remaining, we begin to realize how certain ideas we have about ourselves and our lives have been conditioned by our early relationships, so that we have seen ourselves as lacking and separate. We can redefine and experience who we really are, change the channel on these long held beliefs and live out of a self knowledge that is expansive, connected and much more capable of living our dreams.
