The unexamined life is not worth living           Socrates

Psychotherapy literally means to nurse the soul, deriving its name from the ancient Greeks and their understanding of the nature of the human psyche.

We are not products of our past, but we are shaped by our early conditioning and whether we are aware of it or not, it has a profound impact on every part of our life.  I believe we are more than the sum of our parts and have an inbuilt drive towards self realization.  If obstacles to growth are removed, the individual can access their potential.  An important task in therapy is to bring awareness to the blocks that inhibit growth, and also to recognise a clients inner qualities, strengths and innate wisdom.

This is a journey of self-discovery in which clients have the space to look at the relationship between their own feelings, thoughts, beliefs and their life experiences such as relationships, work etc.  In looking inwards, and being honest, the client can discover things about themselves that they had previously been unable or afraid to look at.

If we are connected to our own inner truth with a real sense of who we are; when we live our life with passion and what truly matters we have the potential to be more creative and live life in the moment with greater autonomy and freedom to create our own opportunities.
