What can therapy help with?
Do you feel that pain or illness is controlling your life?
Maybe you feel unable to continue with hobbies that you used to enjoy or to keep on top of the housework. Maybe you find it difficult to make and stick to plans with friends and family or feel that others do not understand what you are dealing with.
This is where I can help. Having therapy with a caring professional who truly understands your struggles can help you move towards creating a more fulfilling and enjoyable life.
Do you feel as if you have lost your identity?
Maybe you feel that you are not the same person you used to be or that you have lost the person you were hoping to become. It can feel like you are grieving for this person.
If you relate to this, I can help you to work through these feelings. We can work together to understand how you feel physically and emotionally and learn skills to live a more valued life.
Do you feel low, stressed or anxious?
Maybe it feels really difficult to get out of bed in the mornings or have the motivation to do very much. Maybe the smallest of things are making you feel stressed and unable to cope. Maybe leaving the house or meeting friends makes you feel anxious.
If this is the case, I can help you with the way you feel. Therapy can teach you coping strategies to lift your mood, reduce your stress, handle anxiety. and increase your confidence.
Have you tried to reduce or get rid of your pain without success?
Maybe it feels as if you are in a constant battle with your body, fighting day after day leaving you exhausted. Maybe you try to power through everything you have to do, ignoring the pain until you have no other option than to rest for longer than you want.
If this sounds familiar, there is another way to handle it. I can help you to change your relationship to the pain and stop the battle. We can also work on pain management techniques to help improve your quality of life.
