Why seek psychotherapy? 
Sooner or later, many of us experience situations or crises in life where we don't feel so good mentally. This can be triggered by events in the present or by experiences in the past that come into play. We could feel overwhelmed with stress, insufficient at work or in relationships, low, anxious, doubting or more confused than usual. We could experience problems in relationships privately or at work, or perhaps both. This can manifest itself as anxiety, mood swings, sleep difficulties, depression, fatigue or addiction problems. 

When you meet a psychotherapist and start examining and putting your feelings and thoughts into words a healing process is set in motion. You gain an increased understanding of yourself and your relationships. This often provides insights that can help you resolve emotional conflicts, create new approaches and develop new thought patterns.

How does it work?

The goal of therapy is to reduce psychological suffering, to increase self-esteem and self-compassion, to gain insights into what gives life meaning and to increase the ability to deal with life's challenges. An important part of therapy is the relationship between you and me as a therapist and the trust and confidence that is created between us. This, in my experience, is the most important prerequisite for a good result and it is also what modern psychotherapy research confirms.
