Why Talking Therapy?

Talking to someone in an open, uninhibited way is known to relieve emotional suffering.

A unique space

Talking to a counsellor or psychotherapist provides a unique non-judgmental space where you can open up and explore and express your feelings. Such space is often difficult to find in a close circle of relationships, so it is a particularly valuable one. When you talk to someone, you build a relationship with them over time, and the relationship itself also has a healing effect.

to understand, accept and cope

Talking therapy can help you process emotions around various events from your past and present, make connections and identify patterns in how you respond to what happens to you. Talking about your feelings and emotions, often repeatedly, makes them gradually more acceptable. It may help you cope with your emotions in the future without getting overwhelmed. When you process feelings through talking therapy, you bring them to awareness. Once you are aware of your emotions and related behavioural patterns, you may feel able to make a different choice and not repeat a not-very-helpful old pattern.

and to become more fulfilled and happier

Talking helps rebuild your life narrative and integrate various life events and feelings about your past in a coherent story on a path to your happier, more genuine and fulfilled self.
