Boarding school and ex-boarders
Since working in private practice, I have successfully worked with many men and women over the years that have had a boarding school experience. For one reason or another, my practice has attracted ex-boarders and I have helped them understand this unique experience which has often been kept out of mind and neglected by the individual. For some people, their lives seem to be working well on the face of it, yet there is a deep feeling that something does not feel quite right. I have found that individuals who are curious and perhaps confused by this experience often do well within a psychotherapeutic relationship. Self-understanding develops in therapy and becomes a much needed and important space for many to unpack and understand their experience more fully. Psychological symptoms of anxiety and depression, and relationship problems, often become less prominent and pronounced, and the experience of pleasure and satisfaction in life becomes more of a possibility. If you would like to explore this further, you are welcome to make contact and book an initial meeting to discuss your options in starting therapy with me.
