One Step at time

To reach the rainbow you need to experience both the rain and sun

J Raworth

Beginning therapy can feel like a daunting step, and it is natural to feel some apprehension. Therapy may not always be an easy journey, and change does not always come quickly. At times you can feel you are under the weight and fog of a dark cloud as we bring you closer to painful feelings or experiences, or when things feel unclear or progress is slow. At times you may lose sight of any hope of recovering, believing you are just going backwards. This is not the case, each time you meet this place you do so from new growth, resilience, perspective and recovery.

 

But whilst you feel lost I will always hold on to your hope until you can see it again by honouring your process with patience and courage. Allowing the sunshine and clouds to  exist together can open the way to a spectrum of colourful feelings and become a richer emotional landscape, and life may begin to feel more connected, meaningful, fulfilling and hopeful.

“I can’t speak highly enough of Julie’s ability and the change she’s made to my mental health. I went from being so terrified of something that I couldn’t even speak its name to being able to face my fear and own it in just under three months of sessions. Julie is a wonderful and understanding therapist and her environment is calm and welcoming. I recommend her to anybody seeking help.”

I don’t think I conveyed in full how grateful I am to you for your work with me over the last 2 years. It really has been a transformative process for me that I believe will stay with me for the rest of my life. It’s also enabled me to go on a journey I didn’t ever think I could. I will keep you with me in my head, but I just wanted to make sure you knew how impactful your work is and what a difference it has made to both my life and my (growing) family. Thank you for everything.
