It is likely you are looking for support at a difficult time. I'm passionate about helping you if you have any kind of body image issues or anxiety. I also understand the need for supporting families in difficult times. I offer a warm therapeutic relationship which is thoughtfully tailored to your needs. I believe that therapy should be sensitive and boldly creative. I often include a variety of experiences into therapy sessions: things that I have found helpful myself. We all want to have a balance in our lives and to learn to calm the sometimes stormy waters of our mind. I hope to share ways of learning to do this with you.
Body Dysmorphia is a debilitating anxiety disorder and I have considerable experience of this and other anxiety disorders. I sometimes work with other professionals to support clients towards recovery from these troubling symptoms. I work also with all kinds of issues including the trauma caused by childhood trauma and abuse, bereavement and more.
I know something of the troubles of anxiety disorders and the hopelessness and confusion of psychological distress. I hope you will consider contacting me to that I can offer you an initial free session. In this way you can get a feel of whether together we can form a unique therapeutic relationship, helping you to feel much better.
