Most people decide to seek help due to symptoms which make their lives difficult. These can include depression, anxiety, inability to form fulfilling relationships, poor self-esteem, or the person may feel aimless and unfulfilled. Major life changes such as bereavement or redundancy can lead a person to seek the space to consider their life. It allows a person to reflect and reach a deeper understanding of their difficulties, making links with their past and how these links may signify a need to change for the future. This process can be seen as a journey of self discovery, enabling the person to develop a broader perspective on their life and to find greater fulfilment.        How does it work? Psychotherapy is a talking treatment that takes place on a regular basis, usually once or twice a week, and it involves commitment on both sides. Through talking and reflecting on a person’s problems, the person seeks to make sense of their difficulties, this may involve making links with their past in order to see how they may repeat patterns of thought and behaviour, how these patterns may lead to the difficulties and/or symptoms that they are experiencing. This awareness allows the possibility of finding new ways of dealing with situations, new ways of thinking and behaving and may enable the person to free themselves from past conflicts. The therapist helps to provide a safe space for the person by endeavouring to enable the person to be as open as possible, in order to gain greater insight and make the changes they choose to. If you are interested, contact either one of our therapists and an assessment consultation can be arranged. If it is agreed to proceed, a regular appointment can be made for each week.         Psychotherapy may help with:       Anxiety Bereavement Depression Effects of domestic violence Life changing events Poor self esteem Relationship issues Sexual Abuse         Practitioners       Charlie Brittain M.A. Diploma in Psychotherapy Diploma in Group Psychotherapy MA Jungian and Post-Jungian Studies Registered with UK Council for Psychotherapy Charlie Brittain trained at the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education (CCPE) as a Transpersonal Psychotherapist, graduating in 1990.
