How we form relationships goes back to our earliest experiences. These experiences create patterns which become the blueprint for our future relationships and can also determine what we expect, want and need from others in relationship. Sometimes, a pattern learned early in life can be harmful to us or impact on us in a negative way without us really understanding why.
Counselling at the West-Gate clinic in Driffield aims to provide a confidential, non judgemental , safe space to explore how patterns or adaptations show up in our lives in the here and now and how this may impact our health and wellbeing.
