About me and my therapy practice
When it comes to relationships, do you • Find it hard to say no to people?
• Find yourself doing all the heavy lifting, but feel people often take you for granted?
• Feel left out, lonely and resentful?
NOW IMAGE YOURSELF
• Saying no to people without feeling guilty
• Genuinely looking forward to spending quality time with others
• Being clear and firm with other people about how you feel
• Being open and honest about how you feel, without worrying about the other person’s response.
We are often told ‘you need to be nice to be liked’
So, you put yourself last
You accommodate other peoples’ needs before your own; you are always the one who listens and supports others,
But who is there for you?
While it’s okay to be someone’s rock, it’s not okay, if doing so leaves you feeling resentful and dissatisfied
There is a ‘ win-win’ solution. This is to apply the same love that you give others to yourself
It sounds really easy, but this is difficult if you don’t know what your needs and wants are
There are ways of listening to yourself that help you clarify what is acceptable and what isn’t
Practice description
I am Wenna, and I help people to build healthier relationships
I remember how I used to feel deeply unhappy in my relationships.
I came to realise, a main contributing factor was that fundamentally, I didn’t approve of, or accept myself. I didn’t feel I was worthy of love.
I am happy with my relationships now, because, through therapy, I learnt how to listen to myself and accept me for who I am. I now help people with similar issues.
You can change and grow through this, you deserve peace and happiness just like anyone else
It’s my aim to work collaboratively with you, so that together we can explore how to move your life forward in a positive way.
I also work with couples to help improve communication and bring changes to the relationships.
I look forward to hearing from you
With love x
