FAQ’s

CAN TALKING REALLY HELP?

It can be hard to imagine that talking can help, especially when we are experiencing emotional distress. It’s not surprising that we find it hard, we are often brought up to believe that our internal stuff shouldn’t be discussed, that we should ‘get on with it’. Our difficult feeling get pushed down until we just can’t deal with them anymore.
Talking therapies help you to untangle what’s in there. Giving you an insight that can help you feel more confident and in control.
