Why Clinical Psychology?
Therapy can't magically take away all pain and misfortune in our lives, but it can definitely help us address our unique challenges – whether by coping, changing, or simply confronting the challenges with vigour, honesty, peace and purpose.
These days psychology is a thoroughly researched and respected process that's been clearly proven to transform peoples lives.
With guidance, support, and perspective, a good clinical psychologist can help you navigate through troubled waters, and steer you along a calmer, steadier, happier course.
Like learning how to fold an origami bird, redesigning your life takes a number of carefully thought out steps, time, and clear guidance.
...over our heads will float the Blue Bird singing of beautiful and impossible things, of things that are lovely and that never happen, of things that are not and that should be.
– Oscar Wilde (Writer, Poet)
