Before any change can occur you have to believe that it is possible. As you come to Lakeside Psychology and begin to work alongside one of our psychologists, we ask you to believe in us and the process we will take you through, as a platform for making the changes you would like to see in your life. But even more importantly, we ask you to believe in yourself, just as we believe in you. Believe that your ability and determination together with the help of your psychologist will see you succeed. We truly believe this. We often get asked “but do you really believe that people can change.” Our answer is always “absolutely!”. If we didn’t believe in you we wouldn’t do this work!
One of the most amazing things about psychological treatment is the growth it allows each person involved to undergo. In your time working with a psychologist at Lakeside Psychology, you may simply want to add to your problem solving or communication skills, or gain a better understanding of what makes you tick. You might wish to conquer a great personal challenge or fear. Or you might want to learn how to sharpen your mental skills to improve your performance at work or sport. Whatever your goal, personal growth is at the core of achieving it. We feel so privileged to be able to be involved and witness this process of growth and we constantly notice ourselves growing with our clients.
Psychological difficulties can be disabling and prevent people from living life the way they want to. We strongly believe that these difficulties don’t have to hold you back, and so from early on in treatment your psychologist will help you develop strategies to live more fully despite your difficulties instead of waiting for them to pass. But that’s just the beginning! By the completion of your treatment at Lakeside Psychology we expect that you will have gained new insights and skills to significantly improve your quality of life. We want you to walk out of our doors that final time with a confidence to live like you weren’t able to when you first walked in. We hope that you have believed, you have grown and now you will reap the rewards as you live more fully and meaningfully!
