On this page you find a list of symptoms that brought past clients of mine into therapy  

You may be looking for help to explore and clarify some important aspects of/challenges in your life, or you may want to accelerate your own personal growth and discovery, or you may be looking for a behavioural change, or to work on specific symptoms or issues that affect your quality of life.

Whatever your reason to attend therapy, it can be better done in presence of a trusted other who is not a friend nor a relative, who can listen to you in a non-judgmental way and in confidentiality, who can help you to find out what is right for you to bring a better balance in your life.
