I'm pleased to share that I'm opening an additional therapy space at Carmenta Life in Berkhamsted. If you're struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, overthinking or regret, let's talk.

Our friendships can be some of the most meaningful relationships in our lives. Your friends often understand you in ways no one else can, you trust them, and they are helpful.

However, talking to a therapist is different than talking to a friend in three key ways.

1. Therapists are skilled people!

A therapist has the professional training to help you grow and develop as a person.

They will ask skilled questions to help you focus on the most important part of your experiences, and to help you uncover the reasons behind your thoughts, beliefs and actions.

2. Therapists are neutral.

A therapist is objective without any emotional stake or vested interest in the decisions you will make. They can provide an outside perspective that your friends don’t have, and will listen with the aim of understanding you.

You’re free to be more open and honest with a therapist than you’re ever likely to be with a friend, without having to worry about hurting your therapist’s feelings.

3. Therapists focus solely on you.

Finally, a therapist’s time and attention are solely focused on you and your feelings. Friendship doesn’t offer the indulgence of focusing only on ourselves.

And no matter how solemnly our friends swear to keep what you say a secret, there’s always a chance it might come out eventually. With rare exception, a therapist is legally and ethically obliged to keep what you say in the therapy space confidential.

If you'd like to talk to someone objective and confidential, get in touch with me.

Self-esteem is the foundation of everything we do. But if it's so important, why do we feel so small at times? What happens to us when we think we have to be perfect, or when we feel hopeless and worthless?

Join me and my co-faciliator Susie for a life-changing course on the Power of Self-Esteem. You'll learn and practise tools you can use right away to break self-defeating patterns and bring about lasting change in your relationship with yourself and others.

We're teaching in Camden Town, London for five weeks starting on Thursday 31 October.
