Therapy, gently.
A space to stay with yourself, in relationship.
ANNA JAANISTE - Counselling & Psychotherapy
Illawarra & Online
You might already see what happens in your relationships - and still find yourself reacting in ways that don’t match how you want to be.
You second-guess yourself.
There’s an urge to keep the peace.
You find yourself shaping yourself around the other person — or reacting more strongly than you mean to.
Afterwards, a sense that it could have gone differently.
You see what’s happening - but in the moment, something pulls you away from yourself.
These patterns were formed in relationship - and they tend to repeat there.
The patterns that once protected connection can begin to shape it.
Our work begins there.
How we work
We move slowly and with attention. There is no agenda for how you should be, or who you need to become.
Instead, we stay with what’s happening between us - noticing the patterns that emerge, and what becomes possible when you stay in connection with yourself.
Over time, things begin to shift.
You might find yourself less caught in the same patterns, and more able to stay with what you’re feeling without being pulled in the same way.
There can be more clarity about what’s true for you, and less second-guessing after difficult moments.
Relationships often begin to feel steadier, and less effortful to hold.
