Looking after yourself is paramount to looking after others and leading a happy and healthy life.

I often get asked: Why am I so hesitant to seek out therapy?

There could be many reasons that can cause you to feel hesitant; such as fear of family / community stigma, feeling vulnerable and not wanting to expose yourself, a lack of understanding of yourself and what you are experiencing, or a general lack of time to commit to therapy. But looking after yourself is very important. Psychological therapy has been known to result in:

• Better relationships
• Reducing feelings of distress and mental health problems
• Cultivating better coping skills
• Developing a positive, growth mindset
• Improving mental wellbeing overall

Personal healing is what we all endeavour to achieve in life, and therapy can be one of the ways through which you embark on that journey.

Another question I get asked often is: Does therapy work for everyone?

The simple answer is - yes it does. Everybody is uniquely imbibed with diverse genes and experiences. Hence, each individual's struggles with mental health difficulties, methods of coping and mental wellbeing will take a uniquely different shape. That's why this practice takes a multi-faceted approach and involves a combination of faith-based, relational, self-developmental and neurological therapeutic approaches - tailored to each individual client's needs.

The main purpose of this service is to provide a safe and supportive environment for you to explore yourself and your concerns.

Don't suffer in silence because your problem won't just magically disappear. Take the first step towards your wellbeing
