There's not a right or a wrong time to seek help. It all depends on you as an individual and if you are open to the idea and committing to action to make a change.
There's also no pressure to continue therapy if you don't want to.
What is it like seeing me as your Counsellor/Therapist?
It might feel strange at first as you are talking to a stranger. Although you may feel a bit unsure about where to start, don't worry, I am a warm and receptive person. I will not expect you to tell me 'everything' at once, though often people get carried away once started. So, I suggest, take your time and go at your pace. Therapy is not a racetrack to zoom along. We are in a professional working relationship that we agree together that include guidelines on communication, payment terms, expectations and that of privacy.
Some people do find through the sessions with me that they are able to make changes rapidly, depending on the particular issue. I'll do my best to give you some expectations on timescales when we speak. Particularly when discussing hypnotherapy.
Considering what you want to change can make people remember some of the things they started out thinking and believing, that they have now outgrown. When we start evaluating the things we do, think and feel, we can come to an understanding of where we are stuck and get out of a rut, particularly if the behaviour or thinking is negative.
Knowing what makes us fragile, makes us better human beings. No need to feel broken or lost. It is possible to rebuild ourselves and our dreams. One day at a time, finding the best therapist you can. Is there a right time to seek help from a hypnotherapist or counsellor? Maybe the time is now.
