I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become...

Some of the reasons you might consider psychotherapy

It may be that you are having difficulties in your relationship – or in the fact that you don’t have a relationship.
Difficulties may come from your loss or bereavement, illness or other setbacks.
You may feel misunderstood, confused, depressed or anxious.
It may be that you feel disappointed with life – or that it feels impossible to find balance, direction or meaning.
You might have dreams which are troubling you – or which you wish to understand more deeply.
You might be suffering from a particular trauma – or It could be that the world seems a frightening and dangerous place.

Other people come to therapy because maybe

They want support whilst recovering from addictions.
They are suffering from compulsive behaviour, or obsessive thoughts and fantasies.
They want to find the meaning of a troubling physical symptom which they sense has a psychological cause.
They are trying to deal with the implications of physical or sexual abuse.
They want help in dealing with an eating disorder, or
They are suffering from identity problems.

I think of the unconscious as a temperamental, inarticulate, artistic genius and the conscious mind as the agent whose challenge is helping this artist to express his or her vision fully and to find the most appreciative audience. The artist and the agent must be friends and collaborators, but neither should dominate the other.
