Usually people look for support as individuals, couples or families when they want to find a way forward with things they are finding difficult in their relationship with themselves or with others.
I work online and am happy to explore with you whether I can be a helpful resource for you as you navigate the challenging territory of relationships.
My approach invites you to look at the stories you and others who matter to you have about your life so far, the accompanying behaviours that may be creating distress for you in your experience of yourself and in your relationships with others………….particularly the significant others in your life story.
Working with you my aim is for you to feel heard and to support you to safely explore with curiosity how you got to where you are in a way that allows alternative meanings and possible new solutions to challenges you face to emerge.
By encouraging you to discover, uncover or recover more of your own resources I seek to use my skills to help you develop a sense of your own expertise……however long that may take.
All our stories about ourselves and our adaptive behaviours, whether they bring us pleasure or distress, will have started as responses to how we experienced and coped with our early environment, and so, importantly, there is a logic to these behaviours – they make sense. And…….sometimes later in life we can start to feel what were useful and well intentioned coping strategies no longer work for us - what was a solution to a problem way back when can have become the source of other problems as your life
unfolded.
This understanding is where you can find you begin to have some leverage for change, opening up a space for you to step into a new landscape and develop a different more satisfying story about yourself and those important to you.
You would be most welcome. All sessions are conducted online. Please be in touch.
