What You can Expect From Psychotherapy?

 

As therapist I believe that you are the expert of your life and the therapist (Me) is the
facilitator of your therapeutic journey who will provide you with a trusting, confidential and
safe space where you can explore aspects of your inner/external world for better
understanding and work together to bring about positive changes to enable you to live a
more fulfilling life. Embarking on this therapeutic journey can offer you with inner peace
that will allow you to explore and process your emotions where you will feel heard,
understood and not judged, such understanding can facilitate self-acceptance, growth, self-
development and resilience. The confidential sessions will also enable you to explore and
understand how you relate to yourself, others and the wider world in your social and
cultural context. The aim of my therapeutic sessions is that we work together to find what
works best for you at your pace and to create an environment where you feel free, safe and
comfortable to discover your true self. I will use different approaches and techniques to

help you increase your self-awareness, gain a greater understanding of your thoughts,
emotions, behaviours and how they affect you and your relationships.
