Gita Aussia
Psychodynamic psychotherapistAbout Me
Are your negative thoughts and feelings leaving you feeling stuck, anxious and depressed? Is this affecting the way you relate to others whether in your relationship, at work or in any other areas of your life?
Nothing is more exhausting than battling with overwhelming feelings every day and not knowing what to do with them.
With over 15 years of experience in both NHS and private practice, you can trust that you’ll be in a supportive environment with me, where you can explore any difficulty or distressing feeling you’re facing without fear of judgment.
When we suffer from anxiety, depression or other negative thoughts and feelings, everything becomes overwhelming. We can go into a spiral, not being able to think properly about what is really going on. This affects our self-esteem and we get stuck and trapped in negativity.
How do we work together:
I understand how anxiety-provoking starting therapy can be, so it’s important that you feel comfortable with me. I make sure our sessions are designed just for you, matching your needs and pace. My goal is to help you feel more secure, confident, and at ease in your own skin.
In our work together,
. You will get to understand your negative patterns and coping strategies so that you can free yourself from anxiety, stuckness and negative emotions.
. Transform your relationship dynamics so you can begin to improve.
. Feel more secure and confident as your self-esteem builds.
. You manage to establish boundaries and effectively handle the expectations of others.
As children we develop patterns of behavior and coping strategies to protect us against difficult emotions. However, as adults these patterns become destructive and affect us at an unconscious level. For instance, we begin to have problems relating to people, our relationships break, we find it difficult to function at work, we become anxious or depressed, we may develop eating disorder, use alcohol, drugs or succumb to any other type of addiction, etc.
As a result, you may be experiencing:
• anger
• low self-esteem
• a sense of feeling stuck, confused or anxious, whether in your job, relationship or other aspect of your life
• over-sensitivity and anxiety much of the time
• a feeling of being overwhelmed or out of control
• negative thoughts that can spiral out of control
• feelings of helplessness
• self-blame or guilt
• difficulty sleeping
• depressed moods and lack of motivation
• lack of purpose and difficulty making decisions
• relationship difficulties - either clinging to a bad relationship or allowing a good one to spiral out of control
• career difficulties - finding yourself stuck in a job that you don't like or not being able to find a job suited to your skills and potential.
If you’re feeling hesitant to invest in Counselling:
Just consider how seeking counseling isn’t just for you but it is a way to equip yourself to be more present and attentive in your roles within your relationships.
The next step:
You can have the first session just to see if it's right for you; it doesn’t commit you to anything. It’s a step to get to know me and to understand how you can benefit and grow.
