Welcome to our blog!
This is a space for us to share our thoughts, rumble with big questions, and open up conversations that we feel are important for us all to be having. Here we’ll ruminate on a wide variety of topics, such as how to determine which type of therapy might be right for you, the differences between working with a therapist online versus in person, and the challenges of defining friendship. In line with our mission to make starting and engaging in therapy as simple and empowering as possible, our intention with our blog is to demystify therapy and make it more easily understood as a practice and an experience.
If there’s something you would like to hear more about then we’d love to hear from you, as we’re keen to ensure we address whatever feels most relevant to the people we work with now and in the future. Would you like to understand more about person-centered therapy and its founding father, Carl Rogers? Is there a part of psychodynamic theory that you’d like to see us rumble with? We do not consider ourselves experts on it all, but we are committed to growing our awareness and understanding alongside those we work with. Please feel free to comment or respond to any of our blog pieces and we will endeavour to get back to you soon.
