Living is a marvellous yet often arduous adventure. We begin our lives in wonder, curiosity and desire to explore. As time goes on, parental failures, social conditioning and psychological and emotional wounds begin to accumulate and most of us learn to disconnect from our feelings, our needs and even our identities. We lock away our True Self so that we won't feel disappointed, hurt or ashamed. We start doing what is required of us by our parents, peers, teachers, bosses and romantic partners. We build armours to hide our vulnerabilities and push the undesirable parts of ourselves deep into the shadow of our unconscious.

​

Sometimes we manage to get on and keep existing in a world that seems colourless at best and hostile at worst. Sometimes we resign ourselves to quiet desperation, other times we fall into a deep, chaotic crisis and living feels unbearable.

All of us, at some point, come face to face with some powerful questions. Who am I? What do I want? Why do I feel like something's wrong with me? How do I understand and cope with what's happened to me?

​

Deep inside of us we can find the answers. Therapy can provide a safe space where these questions can be explored, where denied feelings can be voiced, where disavowed parts of ourselves can be expressed.
