How Psychotherapy helps
Margaret focuses on understanding your perspective and taking your concerns seriously. She believes that warmth, acceptance and a non-judgmental attitude allows the two of you to develop a trusting relationship. Meeting weekly or 2 or more times per week creates an opportunity for you to look into aspects of yourself and your life that have previously been difficult to explore.
Margaret follows therapeutic principles, developed by contemporary psychoanalytic practice, that facilitate understanding of the person in depth, including the influences of temperament, past and present relationships, and life events.
Together you work towards a stronger sense of self, confidence to solve problems, and greater calmness and productivity. Psychotherapy can help to achieve relief from difficulties and promote personal growth.
