Living in London can be hard in so many ways. If you are also overwhelmed by difficult events, painful memories, a dark cloud of feelings, or repetitive, anxious thoughts and behaviours, it can be so much harder.
However, counselling or longer-term psychotherapy can make a great difference to your sense of well-being and your ability to cope with adverse circumstances. Through therapy it is possible to start feeling positive about life once more.
Some of the many benefits of seeing a counsellor are:
- Breaking out of the dead-end cycle of anxious thoughts and feelings.
- Dissolving the black cloud of depression.
- Letting go of difficult experiences and feelings in the past and moving on.
- Regaining – or finding for the first time – a feeling of contentment about your life.
Therapy is also a place where you can explore yourself, your thoughts, your feelings, your relationships, your past and your hopes for the future.
Many techniques may be useful in counselling. But ultimately it's the power of the good 'therapeutic relationship' between counsellor and client, which underpins successful counselling.
