Ending Therapy!

So we're talking about ending therapy before we've even begun huh? May sound like an odd angle? Well here's the thing! ...

Although you may actually dip in and out of Counselling throughout the course of your life, many therapists, myself included, agree that the actual purpose of therapy is to guide you towards your own tools and understanding, the ones necessary for you to live life more fully, on your own terms. And yes! Often that means saying goodbye!

And sometimes clients come back... to challenge or discover more about themselves, or because of some new awareness or changes in their life which need fresh attention. Sometimes they don't...

There are no hard stops here but suffice it to say that stopping doesn't have to be hard... 

Or complicated, or awkward, or unusual. In my experience therapy often comes to it's own natural conclusion, in it's own time... and you'll know when that is... because you'll feel it.

That's when it's time to say goodbye. But as with that age old adage - the door is always open, you're welcome to come back anytime and pick things up from where we left off, or start afresh entirely.

The key takeaway here is that we don't impose the end of therapy... you choose it, and you'll know when the time is right for you!
