Most of us are affected by emotional problems at one stage of our lives. To varying degrees and in various contexts. Sometimes problems and patterns are longstanding, sometimes psychological problems develop in response to a more current life stressor. When the emotional burden exceeds our natural resources and coping abilities, professional support and therapy can be very helpful in restoring balance and resilience. It can help to get greater insight into your emotions, thoughts and behaviour and how they interrelate within your personal and unique context and circumstances, past and present. Therapy can help process painful feelings and experiences and help develop healthy coping strategies and build new skills.
