In the rush and bustle of everyday life, we sometimes fail to ask the most fundamental questions of ourselves. Questions like 'who am I?', 'where am I going in life?', and 'am I the person I really want to be?'

Sometimes we reach our own realisation that the nagging background doubt we once had about some of these things, has now become a yawning gap.

At other times, it's traumatic events and life's unseen and unprepared for difficulties - illness, loss, relationship breakdown - that suddenly thrust us into this new and uncomfortable position.

However each of us got there, we know that the strain of 'carrying on regardless' places an increasingly heavy burden upon us. It is then we might want to stand back, take stock, and re-orientate.

With the guidance of an experienced practitioner, psychotherapy encourages you to stand back and take a long hard look at yourself and your situation.

It's a kind of psychological stock-taking. You decide that which continues to be useful, and that which is long past its sell by date and needs discarding.

You head in directions that feel right for you!
