From early childhood, I felt that I was “weird” and other people were mostly “normal”. This overwhelmed me, affecting almost every aspect of my life. I tried to find a way to live with the endless debates inside my own head. Some strategies were helpful and others not so much. I have at last begun to realise that “normal” comes in a variety of flavours: I am not “weird” so much as a “rare and unusual flavour of normal”. Mostly I’m ok with that, although I’m definitely still a work in progress. I may be unique, but I’m not the only person who has ever struggled to find acceptance, purpose, motivation and direction.
Starting with careful listening, I will try to gain an understanding of your life and circumstances as you see them. My approach is collaborative: answers, instructions and solutions are not provided. Primarily using Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), the goal is to build psychological flexibility, and create a unique and meaningful life.
I will work alongside you; encourage you in your choices; even “brainstorm” with you to gain clarity. You are unquestionably the expert regarding your own life: I am a fellow-builder with a toolbox full of potentially useful tools. If what I have written here gives you hope, I would love to work with you as you consider your present and build your future.
