Cognitive Analytic Therapy

The way our lives unfold depends on many factors and the way that we respond to life’s challenges affects how we grow.  Life’s journey can be unpredictable and inevitably there are all sorts of obstacles and situations along the way. Things may not always happen as we had hoped or intended. Realising our inner potential can sometimes be difficult. We might not always understand why things don’t seem to be going our way. Recognition of how we can influence a situation or develop a relationship is half way towards finding an effective solution.
