Life is complex (and by now I’ve sampled a lot of it).
As a fellow traveller, much of my work is aimed at “ending aloneness”, helping people improve their relationships (with themselves and others).
Those relationships are central to the quality of our lives and are often challenging, stretching us in ways we often never wanted, and could not have anticipated. They are also powerful vehicles for our healing and growth. Yet, few of us are “naturals” at bonding successfully with others. From childhood we have learned ways of surviving that were useful back then, but are next to useless or even damaging now, and tend to sabotage our adult lives.
Good relationship therapy helps us feel safe enough to explore what isn’t working, heal old wounds and learn new ways of being that support us in getting our needs met now. This will help us move beyond the stuck places we find themselves in, and move towards the life we want. The aim is always greater connection, and despite our differences, learning to engage safely, more fully and with greater satisfaction.
