Self-Development in Therapy
Enhance your Personal Qualities with the Power of Self-development
From a psychological perspective, our ways of relating to ourselves and others can be profoundly influenced by our past experiences, which often replay in our daily interactions through Transference, an unconscious replay of experiences. Nonetheless, the path to healing is within us. It necessitates a conscious effort within a secure therapeutic environment under the guidance of a professional who can adaptively perceive your needs. Often, a therapist plays a crucial role in helping you bring these experiences to the surface and work through them.
Are you struggling to let go of old patterns that no longer work for you? Do you find it hard to embrace change for self-improvement? As a professional therapist, I understand how difficult it can be to face these feelings, the fear of commitment to self-compassion where familiar core beliefs and self-abandonment have reigned long. Many people can be kind to others but can be perfectionists and critical of themselves, struggling to extend kindness to themselves intentionally. Does this relate to you?
My approach is collaborative, accepting, and compassionate. I work closely with you to help you strengthen your self-awareness, address intrapsychic and relational issues, and enhance your productivity. Together, we'll review your self-narrative and work to improve your well-being.
At Another Hope Counselling and Psychotherapy Service, I offer professional psychological therapy for individuals and executives. I provide an empathetic therapeutic space for you to share your thoughts, feelings, and worries. My counselling services are available in Greater Manchester, West Midlands, Yorkshire, and the Humber and Leeds therapy are flexible during the week.

Limiting Beliefs - Patterns

I offer Psychodynamic therapy to support your experiences, integrating psychological approaches tailored to your needs, including relational and highly specialised psychoanalysis. I appreciate some social beliefs that consider self-development in therapy a luxury compared to everyday basic needs expense, to which I can relate. Yet, some personal issues can make everyday tasks challenging if not addressed well with meaning. It is learning to value ourselves as the engine that makes every day possible. I adapt my work to each person, focusing on healing, building resilience, confidence, and character development.

If this resonates with you, we can embark on a journey to uncover patterns that may have been deeply ingrained in life experiences, shaping your very essence. While seemingly comfortable and familiar, these patterns may have outlived their usefulness, trapping you in the past and reinforcing self-limiting beliefs. It can lead to emotional turmoil and conflicts that permeate your daily life.
Some reasons for Personal
Self-development
When we enter into relationships, we often seek partners who are for us, to love and support us with expectations that we would feel fulfilled, yet unaware that we are sometimes uninvolved in our growth. Despite good intent, these relationships can reflect and reinforce unconscious irrational core beliefs and unmet needs, creating a dysfunctional cycle and causing feeling stuck. Unconsciously, partners can recruit another to fill a void they experience. It's a dynamic or couple fit that can foster blaming but hinder our self-awareness and prevent us from fully embracing self-development and personal growth.
​
Parents can extend this process by unconsciously providing an environment that reflects what they may have lost but seek. It can show up in rules and relational patterns that play out parts of parental historical narrative, sometimes unresolved but becoming generational. These manifestations in parenting can create another generation of children with a high chance of not being emotionally understood despite their parents' best intentions and material provisions.
​
Interestingly, most psychological problems and health challenges can have underlying factors of unresolved unmet needs promoting them, including anxiety and depression, unexplainable pain, emotional dysregulation, self-rejection, self-esteem and anger issues and more. These can promote physical symptoms and health deterioration. It is living with a culture of some usual and normalised occurrences that are limiting to the self.
