About me and my therapy practice
My training is wide ranging which gives me an ability to work with adolescents, adults and families. I am trained integratively which encompasses CBT - how one thinks. Psychodynamically meaning the relevance of 'the past in the present' meaning how and why is history repeating itself in past patterns of behaviour, especially pertinent to past trauma, however one understands 'personal trauma' and Person Centred, this means 'you are in control', you take me where you wish us to go.......................
I have recently undertaken an existential psychotherapy training. Looking at life from an 'Existential Perspective' assists in comprehending 'what is going on for you right now and how to manage life on life's terms' in the here and now and moving forwards.
Practice description
I have experience with addictions, relationship challenges, trauma experience from all aspects of abuse. Existential anxiety and depression and the many and varied manifestating difficulties that impact on functioning out there in the world and within your family.
My aim is to meet you where you are at this time and 'think together' to find ways to change situations that create psychological and emotional angst.
My first session
My first session is for you to 'assess me', check me out, the fit between 'client and therapist' is essential!
