Psychotherapy in Perth with Andrea Sowden – All Welcome

Talking about our problems or issues through the process of psychotherapy increases self-awareness, identifies barriers and/or destructive patterns and promotes emotional growth. This in turn benefits our work, play and relationships – and increases an overall sense of well-being. Psychotherapy assists us to understand ourselves and helps us to make changes for a better future. The goal of psychotherapy is to rediscover your own voice, your own priorities, to find the courage to act on them – and to be our best selves.

Psychotherapy is a means of self-reflection and discovery, encouraging a development of self-acceptance and a feeling of purpose and aliveness. By increasing our understanding of, and gaining insight into the things that cause us pain, we can come to acceptance – and in the process, change patterns.

In the changing of these patterns and our search for meaning, we are able to develop the self further, coming to a balanced place of authenticity and self-awareness.

Psychotherapy is usually involves doing the deeper work that takes a longer time than counselling.

For meaningful, long-term change to occur, it is important to not only focus on the symptoms but to explore the origins of a problem. The unconscious and our core beliefs influence our attitudes and contribute to problems or issues. Working with a psychotherapist helps to create a more fulfilling and satisfying life, allowing us to incorporate our authentic selves with our friends, family, work colleagues and community.

Talking does help – particularly in a friendly, non-judgemental and professional environment.
All issues, all problems, and all feelings are welcome in my therapy room.

Psychotherapy sessions are confidential. It is important that you know and trust this – so that you can talk about things that you might not feel comfortable talking about anywhere else or with anyone else.
