Challenges and change
Physis (/ˈfaɪˈsɪs/; Ancient Greek: φύσις [pʰýsis]) is a Greek theological, philosophical and scientific term translated into English as "nature".The nature of life is change. Challenges and change provide fantastic opportunities for growth and they can also bring anxiety, loss and deep uncertainty. It takes courage to recognise that sometimes life becomes too difficult to bear alone. Realising that you need help is a step in the right direction towards change and therefore, physis.
Sometimes we long for personal change that will release us from the same old struggles coming up again and again. Sometimes we cling to what is familiar, even if painful, just because it is better than the unknown. We have within us a unique model or blueprint for how we relate to and interact with other people.
Have you reached a point where you feel stuck and unsure of how to move forward? Perhaps aspects of your inner model may no longer feel useful or relevant and changes are needed. Whether you would like support for a specific issue, feel the need to make changes in your life or are looking for personal development, psychotherapy offers a safe and confidential space for you.
Psychotherapy can help you manage the difficulties that you face right now and also help you understand the roots of problems that keep you feeling stuck or caught up in a cycle of thoughts, emotions and behaviour.
Whatever worries you may have about your psychological health, we will look at your situation together and I will help you explore and clarify your issues and experiences. This can lead to new perspectives on your situation, an increased sense of personal choice and a richer connection with yourself and with others
