During all stages of life there are times when we get overwhelmed, stuck, confused, feel lost and long to get found again. These are the times when it can be helpful to talk through your thoughts and feelings with a psychotherapist.
Having space to hear your own thoughts and explore where they lead can be the start of a new understanding about yourself, how past experiences have shaped you and how they may have been unconsciously shaping your future.
Perhaps you have tried different therapies before and while they have made a difference, there hasn’t been lasting change. You may feel stuck or experience a discontent that you can’t understand when outwardly everything seems fine. In this situation, longer-term psychoanalytic psychotherapy, which focuses on the unconscious patterns that develop over time and the ways the past impacts the present may be what you are looking to explore.
