Jen Patrick
Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor
Hello, and welcome to my page.
Life can pull at us. People can hurt us. The roles we take on can become immense and overwhelming, leaving us feeling as though we cannot continue on in the way we have been. But often, we feel we have no choice. We end up feeling stuck in patterns that do not serve us, and this can seem hopeless and unending.
But there is hope. Take an hour for yourself, once a week, to return to you. To make space for the frustrated, miserable or resentful parts of yourself. To rage, cry or to grieve. To sit in silence or fill the room with words. To share your joy and your despair, and all without needing to please or protect another person. Begin the journey to uncovering what all of these feelings mean, and learn how to empower yourself in your life, and in your relationships.
As an aside, therapy can even be funny. I for one am hilarious, and welcome those with a sense of humour.
