What is
Psychology?
Everyone feels down at times or needs someone to talk about some of the issues life throws at them. Psychology is defined as the scientific study of behaviour and the mind, and we can use this to set goals to improve your life. Some people may experience stress, low mood, low self-esteem, anxiety in new situations or with new people, addiction, or any other difficulties. If you haven’t felt like yourself lately, talking about it can help! You might not know where to begin, and that’s what we are here for.
Our Services
Depression
Persistent low mood, feelings of worthlessness, no longer enjoying the things you used to, withdrawing from loved ones, and at times, thoughts of harming yourself.
Anxiety (including Phobias)
Anxiety can come in the form of phobias, hypervigilance, and/or constant worry; we can all feel anxious from time to time, but sometimes it gets in the way of our thinking, relationships with others, and our day-to-day tasks. It can affect our sleep, mood, motivation, and concentration, and even lead to muscle tension/aches.
Trauma
Oftentimes we go through something traumatic, whether it’s once or repeatedly, and it can unsettle us. This can be a one-off (e.g. car accident injury), or repeated (e.g. neglect, abuse, bullying). Sometimes things that happen in our childhood can affect us when we are adults without us realising! A psychologist can help us to feel ourselved again.
Problem Solving & Behavioural Approaches
Rita uses practical strategies to engage you in your own therapy, looking at how you can take charge of the things that are bothering you! Sometimes it’s the little things you can change in your day that make the biggest difference.
