Simon Hudson Psychotherapy and Counselling LONDON CITY THERAPY

"If an egg is broken by outside force, life ends. If broken by inside force, life begins. Great things always begin from inside." - Jim Kwik

Therapy when practiced well is a fine but delicately balanced intervention in another person’s life. It requires a devotion to truth and a merciless pursuit of right living. Expertise in bringing people out of the darkness of a disappointed or bitter life into the light of a new vitality is hard earned. It is a privilege and a pleasure when it works well. But that level of engagement with clients is also extremely demanding and it can never be achieved by trotting out stereotyped tricks from approved textbooks.”
― Emmy Van Deurzen, Psychotherapy and the Quest for Happiness

"…the purpose of psychotherapy is to set people free."
~ Rollo May, 1981, Freedom and Destiny

Elizabeth Kubler Ross

Have patience with all things, but first with yourself. Never confuse your mistakes with your value as a human being. You’re perfectly valuable, creative, worthwhile person simply because you exist. And no amount of triumphs and tribulations can ever change that. Unconditional self-acceptance is the core of a peaceful mind.
St. Francis de Sales

Question negative self-talk before it becomes destructive. And don't believe everything you feel and think. Just because you sometimes believe you're worthless, unlovable and stupid doesn't mean you actually are these things.
Victoria Maxwell

About CAT

Cognitive analytic therapy (or CAT) is a type of therapy that marries together ideas from analytic psychology with those from cognitive therapy. Looking at past events and experiences, the therapy aims to understand why a person feels/thinks/behaves the way they do, before helping them problem solve and develop new ways of coping.

Each programme of therapy is tailored to the individual's needs, taking into account their current situation and problems they're dealing with. Considered a time-limited therapy, cognitive analytic therapy can last between four and 24 weeks depending on the nature of the problem being explored, but an average of 16 weeks is considered the norm.
