My name is Simon van der Stap and at Creative State Counselling and Psychotherapy, I help people create the changes they want for their lives. If you’re reading this, you’ve probably decided it’s time to take real action to improve your life in a more permanent way. Can I help? YES! Does Counselling and Psychotherapy really work? Also, YES! Whether you struggle with Alcohol or Other Drugs, clinical disorders such as anxiety or depression, historical stuff such as trauma, self-defeating habits that keep you stuck, a lack of direction or assertiveness, or you simply want to build a better life, you've come to the right place!
I offer a warm, genuine, Person-Centred approach and have extensive clinical experience with Substance Use Disorders, Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Workplace Bullying, LBGTQI+ issues, Life-Goals, Assertiveness Training and sudden, Life-Changing Events.
Reaching out for help is scary, and often doesn't come naturally. We feel ashamed, that there's something 'wrong' with us, that we should have it all together like everyone else seems to. On the contrary, asking for help when we're stuck, or when we wish to create a happier and healthier life shows courage and willingness. This is a great place to start.
