Individual Therapy
In addition to treating specific mood, anxiety and personality disorders (see other treatment pages) we often see clients who struggle with being stuck in their lives, feeling like they are not good enough, or not quite understanding why they are feeling disconnected or unfulfilled.
Such difficulties often include one or more of the following:
- Low self-esteem or self-worth
- Motivational concerns, procrastination, feeling stuck
- Fears, avoidance, disconnection
- Uncontrolled emotional reactions including anger or crying
- Relationship difficulties, loneliness
- Existential issues (life purpose, search for meaning, happiness, etc.)
In Therapy
In therapy you can find new and more useful ways of thinking, both about yourself and about your surroundings. Changing some of these automatic ways of thinking and feeling requires insight and self-understanding, which is best achieved in the therapeutic relationship with a skilled therapist.
First Steps
First steps in therapy include helping you describe your concerns, history and potential causes. We then identify what positive changes might look like for you, and how you would like to change. It is important to any therapy that you and your psychologist clearly collaborate around describing your difficulties and potential solutions. It is similarly important that the treatment methods are described by your therapist. Transparency and collaboration in the therapeutic process is an important tool towards moving forward.
