About Graeme Jardin Psychotherapy
You may be finding life difficult or frustratingly stuck. My aim is to work with you to understand and change these aspects of your life.
Graeme Jardin Psychotherapy Description
You may find yourself unhappy with how things are and you want them to be better. Things are difficult, but you're not sure what's behind it or what you can do about it.
When you feel like this you may start to worry that you'll be stuck like this forever. It may be frustrating to consider that life is passing by and you are not making the most of it. You may worry that, unless you do something, your situation will get even worse.
There are some common issues where I find psychotherapy can be effective:
- anxiety or distress which seem to have no practical solution
- feelings of low confidence and low self-worth, a sense of not reaching goals
- trouble in relationships with a partner, family or friends, or making it hard to form new relationships
Working with a psychotherapist gives you a chance to explore these difficulties. You may find that you can look more deeply into your concerns, and explore with a sense of stability and safety that allows you to see and understand aspects of your life that had previously seemed frustratingly out of reach.
A basis of mindfulness (simply tuning in to your experience of the present moment) provides stability and openness. A therapist who is able to tune in to your concerns can help you to open to feelings and thoughts so that they unfold more freely in the session.
In this exploration we aim to shift the way you relate to yourself, other people and the world around you. The aim is to find
- enjoyment in your day to day life
- an increased sense of safety and security
- feeling OK with who you are
- the energy to get on with the things that are important to you
