Psychotherapy

Each of us is unique and able to change.

People come to psychotherapy with a wide variety of issues and emotional difficulties they want to address. If you are considering beginning psychotherapy, you may or may not know what the problem is, or what is causing your distress or emotional pain.

...the human psyche, like human bones, is strongly inclined towards self-healing. The psychotherapist's job, like that of the orthopaedic surgeon, is to provide the conditions in which self-healing can best take place.     John Bowlby
