As we go through life, we collect plenty of ‘stuff’ as a result of our experiences. We can think of this stuff as our beliefs, thoughts and rules about ourselves and about the world in general. Unfortunately some of this stuff can be unhelpful and negative.  Sometimes we end up storing it in an imaginary suitcase, dragging it everywhere with us! It can get heavy, hard to deal with and exhausting! Then we become worried, sad, angry and even hopeless and we stop doing the things we used to do and enjoy

But all is not lost! In our sessions, we will work together like curious detectives: examining some of the thoughts and beliefs you have in order to understand them and decide whether they serve a useful purpose. If they don’t, we may even come up with new, more useful thoughts and beliefs and see what happens when we put them to the test! What usually happens is that life starts to become easier and more enjoyable- and you can hopefully smile again!
