You are worthy of respect just as you are.
You are a unique individual who is worthy of love, understanding and attention. We all are.
Too many people have travelled a difficult and painful path in a society that does not accept them or validate their struggles. Great courage exists in those who dare to throw out the rule book and be their true self, no matter what the inevitable backlash.
My aim within therapy is to always treat you with respect, to consider respect within your relationships and to support you in developing a powerful sense of self-respect. Your coping mechanisms, your beliefs, your feelings, your rights and your core humanity, are all parts of you which deserve respect.
