About Me
Approach
“When you get comfortable with your own messy and beautiful self. Nothing and no-one can block you. You finally see your truth. You fall in line with the beat of your own vibration. You come out of your cocoon” - Christine Evangelou. I find this poem and the metaphor of the transitional process from the cocoon to the butterfly a useful illustration of therapy. Therapy is a process to assist one through different phases of life which is unique to each individual, just like the butterfly making its way through the hole of the cocoon. The process may be messy, filled with dysfunction and despair just like a butterfly emerging from the cocoon with shrivelled up wings, unable to fly. In order to survive, the butterfly needs to learn to adapt to and function in its environment. I view therapy as a relationship to assist the crawling butterfly transform into one that is able to explore challenges and become one that is able to spread its wings and fly.
