Jo Mallabar Psychotherapy

PGDip, BACP, UKCP & FPC Registered

In a completely confidential, open and non-judgemental environment I aim to help you explore whatever is on your mind at a pace that feels right for you.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy is an in-depth way of looking at your problems.

At each step we work together to explore alternative ways to move forward in your life. To achieve this we also look back, uncovering any repetitive patterns of behaviour and understanding how they are contributing to what you feel is going wrong.

Psychotherapy can help with all kinds of problems.

From difficulties with relationships, a frustrated career, anxiety and depression, or simply feeling misunderstood and confused about who you are and what you want.

Some, but by no means all, of the areas I work with include:

• Anxiety, depression, stress and difficulties regulating your emotions

• Career problems

• Forming meaningful and lasting relationships, navigating complex relationships, and understanding ambivalence, commitment issues, shame and self-sabotage

• Family issues including relationships with parents, siblings and children

• Feeling held back by traumatic childhood experiences

• Identity

• The challenges of life transitions such as marriage, fertility and parenthood, and facing retirement

• Living with long term illness

• Loss and making sense of, and surviving, endings

• Low self esteem

• Suicidal thoughts
