I have a psychotherapy practice that offers clients specialized psychotherapeutic care. My practice is for adults who need help with problems like mood disorders, substance use disorders and even aspects of their own personality they may find difficult to change. I like to collaborate with clients, to think together with them about what they may need to reflect on that will bring them value and meaning in their day-to-day life. In addition to this I think it is important to examine patterns of excessive or unhelpful behaviour that compromise their feeling of self-coherence, agency and place in the world.
I offer an understanding, experienced and professional perspective where reflection, meaning and effort are encouraged. With psychotherapy managing difficult, excessive or painful behaviours allow for a sense of mastery and confidence to develop within you. Recovery from individual, relationship and substance use problems can feel freeing, powerful and
Investing in psychotherapy and the support and challenge it offers, can be a significant step to take on your life path. Its significance can be daunting but should not be avoided as the risk of repeating old patterns of behaviour.
