Most of the time, we take our thinking for granted. What we know about our thinking and what we think about our feelings seems to work most of the time. Until it doesn’t. That’s the time to see someone whose daily life is spent talking about emotions, memories, hopes, thoughts and behaviour.

‘Psychotherapy’ translates as attending to the mind. This involves more than just an understanding of the mechanics of the brain and its interaction with the body, it’s an exploration of how you, as an individual, have learned how to react to the world around you, why you remember some things and not others. What is in your genes and what you have experienced since your conception. Most of all, it is about how you relate to others whether it be as a couple, your family, your band, gang, team, or group, your neighbourhood, your company, your nation, your ethics and morality. And it’s about how you see yourself.

With such infinite variability, no wonder that we sometimes need someone who can help us make sense of it all – or accept that sometimes somethings do not make sense.
