Connecting with your heart

Connecting with your heart

How do you start to heal when it feels like you are breaking? Reaching out to another is a good start.

COUNSELLING SUPPORT

Been through cancer? Lost a loved one? Adjusting to recent changes in your life?

No one knows the difficulty life may bring. If what you are going through feels a bit much to carry, psychotherapy and counselling can help relieve some of the immediate pressure.

CARING ABOUT YOU

I believe good therapy starts to happen when you feel your therapist cares for you.

Starting counselling can be difficult. Sharing thoughts and emotions can make you feel vulnerable. We explore your experiences at a pace that is comfortable to you.

SOMATIC PSYCHOTHERAPY

Somatic psychotherapy and counselling is a gentle approach where we pay attention to the feelings behind your thoughts. 

Using this holistic approach of mind, brain and body, we “teach” the brain to react differently. This strengthens your sense of self and opens you up to feeling increasingly at peace with yourself and with life.

WHEN LIFE IS HARD

Going through cancer? Lost a loved one? Adjusting to recent changes in your life?

No one knows the difficulty life may bring us. If what you are going through feels a bit much to carry at the moment, Psychotherapy & Counselling  can help relieve some of the immediate pressure.

CARING ABOUT YOU

I am Anna Petinsky, a Somatic Psychotherapist. I believe that the most important part of therapy is for you to feel that I really care about you.

Starting therapy can be really difficult and it is very important to me that you feel you can trust me with whatever thoughts or emotions you are carrying.

SOMATIC PSYCHOTHERAPY

What makes Somatic Psychotherapy unique?

We acknowledge that we have a cognitive brain and an emotional brain.  When you and I talk, we therefore pay close attention to your emotions and your body.
