“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.”
Therapy can help you to make sense of your life and provide new insights and perspectives. You may be feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities or are struggling with relationship problems. Perhaps you are undergoing an important change in your life, or are experiencing prolonged anxiety, low self-esteem, substance abuse, depression or a loss of meaning and purpose in life. I endeavor to provide a reliable, confidential service, free of expectation or judgment, tailored to individual needs. Everyone is unique and together we explore whatever issues arise. To begin with I suggest we meet to discuss your reasons for coming and to help decide whether working with me feels right for you.
Call or email to arrange an initial consultation: 07957 395366 or info@zaraheberpercy.com. I have a private practice in Hanover, Brighton.

Why seek therapy?
People seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Some may want to find a more meaningful life or a deeper sense of connection with themself. Many people seek therapy because something in life has become particularly difficult or dissatisfying. The problems may be individual or about their relationships with others. The former can include anxiety, depression, addiction or other obsessive behaviours and uncontrollable moods. The latter might include anxieties or fears about a relationship or dealing with a difficult break-up, a divorce or the loss of a loved one.
Talking to a therapist once or twice a week and making a commitment (at a time when you feel ready to do so) to regular sessions, creates a space in which the issues underlying whatever has brought the person to therapy, can be explored and understood. This exploration can happen in relation to the past and to the here and now. From a Jungian perspective, symptoms that arise from our inner or outer conflicts, have a meaning and can lead to a greater self-knowledge and understanding.
Sometimes people can enter therapy, then decide it is not for them or not the right time, leave and perhaps return later. But times of difficulty in therapy can be times when the most change is about to happen, and so patience and perseverance can be valuable.
In some cases, all that is required is short-term therapy, whilst for others a more long-term analysis over many years can be very helpful.
