My Approach

People often come to therapy due to a crisis in their lives, and they want help to reduce the emotional pain they are in, and to find answers to longstanding problems. It is a brave step to seek out therapy, as mental health is not the absence of problems, but being able to deal with the problems that all of us inevitably face in our lives.
I work with young people and adults, as a companion in their darkness to understand what they are struggling with, and to help them get new perspectives on their problems, This usually involves exploring their issues in depth, and how they impact on different areas of their lives.
I am also curious about how they have dealt with problems before, and the social supports they have in place, and how these can be made stronger.
Often people make choices that are protective when they are going through traumatic life issues, and these solutions can often become problems in themselves in the long term. I aim to help people be more conscious of these choices, by exploring often unconscious patterns and choices that they have made, to see if these are still appropriate now.
I hope we can work together, and look forward to hearing from you.
