(For more details, why not take a look at my website.) Most of us have 'problems' of one kind or another, so people often feel embarrassed about looking for help, as if it were a sign of weakness. But society puts us under enormous pressure to succeed, to be cool, to look good - and this pressure is increasing all the time. Meanwhile, our traditional support systems (family, work, local community) have become more fragile, and employment has become more pressurised and less secure. It's perhaps not surprising that so many of us are coping with such high levels of stress. As a therapist, I believe in taking a strong stand against the modern drive to speed everything up, to use people until they burn out, to mechanise, de-personalise and 'fix' people as if they were cars or TV sets. The purpose of therapy is to give you the space to unfold, to reclaim yourself, to be who you really are.
