What Might Make it Difficult to Begin Psychotherapy?
I understand there can be many reasons why someone would be hesitant, and find it difficult to begin psychotherapy. If you experience any of these, or other similar examples, I encourage you to let me know. It doesn't necessarily mean we can't work together or that therapy isn't for you. In fact, worries of this kind can be a worthy starting point, and often prove important and valuable to explore. There are often multiple and very personal reasons behind any of the issues b

Different landscapes in our sense of the world also speak to us differently, and here it serves us to consider the aspect of ‘North’ in Phillips’s work.

The Wisdom of Not Knowing: Reflections on Jung and the Soul of Therapy
The First Encounter I discovered the work of Carl Jung during my mid-late teens, when I plucked this text from a shelf in a local book shop. Having no idea at the time who this man was, or about psychoanalysis, I imagine I was attracted by the title. A Timely Passage in a Culture of Speed I find this following passage fascinating today, in a world where we must all be ever quicker to 'know'. Alluding to a way of working that seeks not to impinge upon the patient/client/analys
