You may be reading this wondering if the way you are feeling or acting is ‘normal’, if other people experience things the way you do, confused as to why you are behaving in a certain way or why a certain person, environment or scenario is causing you stress or difficulties. You may find yourself revisiting a particularly painful or traumatic event, loss or relationship. Something about the way you find yourself operating may no longer feel ‘right’ for you. You may be unsure exactly what you want to talk about with a therapist. There is no ‘wrong’ reason to seek the support of a therapist. If there is something specific you are looking for support with, you might like to visit, Areas We Work With, to view a list of presentations our therapists are experienced and able to support with. At Hackney Therapy House our therapists will offer you a non-judgemental, confidential and safe opportunity to explore your thoughts, experiences and difficulties. A therapist will want to try to understand things from your point of view but will not directly instruct you what to do next.
A fundamental part of therapy is the trust and relationship between you and your therapist and this takes time to build. It is important to ask questions and get a sense of how you feel in the room together (if working in-person). If the difficulties have arisen from a one-off event or life event that you feel is not connected to your deeper levels of understanding then you may require warm and empathetic, shorter-term therapy, such as person-centred counselling or solution-focused therapy such as CBT or coaching. If the difficulties you are experiencing seem to be emerging as a pattern or new physical symptoms, and you find yourself unable to understand your behaviour sometimes, longer term psychotherapeutic integrative counselling, psychodynamic or existential psychotherapy may be better suited. It is important you feel safe with your therapist yet challenged. Longer-term change will require work between you and your therapist and it may feel uncomfortable at times.
