We choose to see a psychotherapist or counsellor when how we feel or what we do stops us fully enjoying our life, our relationships or our work.
This is often as a result of
• family problems • change or loss of job • issues around sexuality
• break up with a partner • change or loss of health • lack of confidence
• death of someone close • fertility problems • stress or depression
Sometimes it is because we find it hard to make the changes we want to make
• reducing need for alcohol/drugs
• living more authentically
• dealing with abusive relationships
• improving our relationship with food.
• living more healthily
It need not be because our life is unsatisfactory, but because we want to explore what it could be, and how we might better fulfil our potential.
