Counselling & Psychotherapy
Deciding to have therapy can be quite frightening for some people, and many people believe they will be judged by others or that it must mean there is something seriously wrong with them. This is a social stigma and the worry of how it may effect work or how they are viewed by work colleagues, friends and family is very difficult to manage - adding further stress. It takes a very brave person to seek help from someone else, discuss issues and explore how they can find equilibrium again. Life events tend to trigger all sorts of emotion and reaction and it is usually the nervous system in relation to thoughts and feelings that has lost its balance. In its simplest terms, therapy re-balances the conflict between thoughts, feelings and the nervous system and this is generally done through talking or with young people through the arts and creative mediums . This helps people to become more aware of their unconscious processes, their senses, feelings and what they mean. This process can help to integrate a persons different states into a functioning whole, alleviating anxiety and blocks that prevent them from achieving their personal goals in life. This is called self-regulation.
For some people this imbalance started from a very young age due to the individual enduring regular traumatic events and for others it may have been triggered by a sudden traumatic or upsetting event.
