Why Come To me at Salome Counselling?

​

I like people very much or I am curious about them.  I have always been curious about

how humans behave, how and why we treat each other and ourselves the way we do,

why or how we endure the things we endure and what motivates us to survive and thrive.  ​

​

Through personal experience, and by observing others, I discovered and continue to learn about the capacity we have for developing ourselves and our relationships and our circumstances.  I discovered how therapy helps a person to recognise our wounds and the pressures that lead us to experience the world as a 'not okay' place, and learn to attend to those parts with love and respect.  

 

Summed up briefly, my personal experience (similar to many others') is that I grew up with parents who loved me but I wasn't ok.  It took a long time and many messy and forgivable experiences to understand that I was grieving for something, and that I was disconnected from a reliable sense of who I am and what brings me peace.  I discovered I was carrying around some unintentionally inherited generational traumas, which were affecting my health and capacity for happiness.   

​

In 2015, I suffered a traumatic loss, and learned that grief, with all its pain, also opens up doors to self-awareness.  We are complex and resourceful beings. Coming to a place of healing, (of my relationship with myself and others), and greater authenticity has not been easy at times, and it is worth it.​  Being curious is the key and so the learning continues.

​

All our experiences and feelings are valid and need some space and respect.  Please feel free to contact me to ask any questions you might have about therapy to see if this might feel right for you.
