People usually come to psychotherapy because they are experiencing feelings which they don't understand and which seem unfamiliar. Sometimes the feelings come from nowhere, sometimes they're connected to particular events, such as bereavement or job changes, but feel out of proportion or overwhelming.
Any life change which makes demands on our resources can bring up feelings of anxiety, loss, depression, etc. Often these feelings are caused by difficult or painful past experiences which we are unaware of or haven't taken seriously.
Psychotherapy helps us to become aware, to make sense of and resolve these feelings. Given time we can use this new awareness to help us make better choices for ourselves and deal more honestly with our relationships.
It's important that the psychotherapist you choose to work with is someone who you feel you will be able to trust. An initial session will be offered to explore your needs and to help you make the best decision.
