Hic et Nunc Therapy
Hic et nunc comes from Latin and means “here and now.” I chose this name because I believe you don't have to wait until things become unbearable before starting therapy. If something is making your life difficult, causing you pain, or simply preventing you from living the way you would like to live, it is already a good enough reason to bring it to the therapy.
Therapy can improve the quality of life. Sometimes it means working through trauma or painful experiences from the past. Sometimes it means dealing with anxiety, depression, relationships, loss, or a difficult period in life. And sometimes it begins simply with the feeling that something is wrong, even when it is difficult to explain exactly what.
Even when the situation feels hopeless, you don't have to face it alone. In therapy, there is space for whatever you are going through. You will be listened to, supported and accepted without judgement. We can look together at what is happening and what may be possible from here.
Hic et Nunc Therapy is my private online psychotherapy and counselling practice. If you have questions about therapy or would like to arrange an initial consultation, you are welcome to contact me at welcome@hicetnunctherapy.com.
