People come to therapy for lots of reasons. Often, it’s because they’ve hit a point in life where they realise that despite their best efforts, things just haven’t panned out the way they expected or wanted and they’re wondering whether there is more to life. Sometimes it’s because a partner has left them or betrayedContinue reading “When I’ve done everything ‘right’ and I’ve always tried my best, why hasn’t life turned out the way I wanted it to?”

The future of therapy practice.
One for the professionals among us. I love it when something pops into my consciousness that really makes me stop and reflect. For quite a while now, through the process of posting these blogs I have been working hard to communicate exactly what we do here at Dialogues and why.
