It can help you feel heard and understood, and provide an opportunity for you to make sense of yourself within your world, and offer potential towards insights and self-compassion to enable change. Psychotherapy can also help you (as above) however we may explore emotions, patterns, behaviour, identity, or areas of inequality a little more deeply.

There can be times when difficulties emerge within your relationship(s). This can be problematic for you and those close to you, as well as significantly impact other aspects of your life. You may want to enhance your relationship, to improve the quality of connection, and help build awareness so that you can more consciously make choices and communicate.
