THERAPY with STEPHANIE TAYLOR
Individual Therapy
Do you feel you are entering a period of transition and change? Has a significant relationship ended, turning your life upside down? Are you struggling to achieve your ambitions in your career and feel stuck? Have you reached a breaking point or burnout? Are you having a crisis of identity? Is university life not what you expected it to be? Have you recently become a parent and are struggling with the shift within yourself or your relationship?
Welcome
I have a particular interest in working with young professionals going through a change of life crisis. Whether you are in your 20's, 30's or 40's the pressure from family, friends, society and yourself can feel crushing. How do you navigate becoming who you want to be, when you are so aware of who you think you should be? These emotional pressures can begin to manifest physically in anxiety, depression, OCD, insomnia and chronic pain.
​
During your life, the way you process emotions can create behavioural patterns which begin as helpful, even necessary for survival. As you enter into a new stage of your life, you may have begun to realise these patterns no longer serve you, in fact, they can be actively standing in your way. It can feel impossible to know how to change them and find who you are underneath. Often we do not realise how our upbringing has affected us until something comes up which forces us to look at it. The impact of those early years and school can shape the way we relate to the world. The key to understanding and to change is to look beneath the everyday, follow your emotions and find what lies at the root.
