For many people struggling with their thoughts and emotions, taking that step to seek out help can be daunting, and it may take a while until you’re fully comfortable with the idea. Some people are scared of sharing their deepest secrets with someone they barely know, whilst others worry that it won’t be for them. In today’s article, I aim to resolve those issues, and help you take those steps to gain control of your life, whether that be through counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) or hypnotherapy.

Mental health issues and lifestyle changes can seriously affect how we go about our daily lives, when we should be enjoying ourselves. By challenging these negative thoughts and feelings through scheduled talking therapy sessions, you can target these specific problems and change your mindset to make them less stressful. But is therapy for you? The broad answer is, simply, that it probably is.

Where Do You Want to Be?

Most people who take those steps and explore therapy options are looking to change their mindset and gain control over their thoughts and emotions. When considering therapy, ask yourself;  what do I want to gain from this experience? Life skills? Control? A happier life? You don’t need a specific reason to seek out therapy, and you will never be judged. Therapy is a safe environment to help you conquer whatever is holding you back, and can help you overcome issues such as anxiety and depression.

Whether you’re looking to overcome mental health issues, develop coping skills or eradicate the physical feelings that can come with certain mental health conditions including shaking and stuttering, I can help you find the best therapy combination for you. From hypnotherapy to CBT, I am fully qualified in helping all kinds of people live the life they want to lead, and can help guide you through your sessions to ensure you’re getting the most out of our time together.

Consider Your Options

Some people think there’s only one form of therapy you can explore. They believe it involves laying on a couch and talking about their past, secrets and deepest feelings. Although this kind of therapy does exist, it’s not the most popular. Hypnotherapy sessions, CBT and counselling are all viable options, and all have their own benefits. CBT, for instance, is a space where you therapist will listen to what you have to say, and help you find ways to think about your issues in a more productive way, rather than the negative ways that are holding you down.

In your sessions, you can talk, shout, scream, or do whatever you need to do to make yourself feel better. Sometimes, it’s easier to talk to a stranger than a friend or relative. The type of therapy you need all depends on your personal experiences and reasons for seeking out therapy. I will provide a combination of therapies best suited to you, in order to help you regain that sense of control as efficiently as possible.
