About the Therapist

About the therapist:

I believe that in times like these it is only natural to feel anxious and depressed. It is only natural to be emotional.

Perhaps you are tired of being made to feel like a problem to be solved? Are you fed up up of people trying to fix you when it is the world that is broken? You might have had a bad experience with therapy in the past? I hear you.

As your therapist I will help you learn to recognise what your emotions are trying to tell you.

I will help you to make peace with yourself and in doing so allow your self esteem to flourish.

Experience and approach:

A sessions with me typically begins with an invitation for you to share your story. That might mean discussing a childhood event or one from last week. It is your therapy session so you get to decide.

You set the tone. We might laugh, we might cry or we might just sit in each others’ company.

If you do have something to discuss we will work together to make sense of it. This usually means focusing on your emotional state both at the time and looking back. A key consideration will be how constructive your emotional response was.

I firmly believe that there are no such thing as bad emotions. There are times it is entirely justified to be angry, sad, nervous or ashamed. The trick is learning how to turn emotions to our advantage.

As we build your self esteem we can collaborate on reframing your emotions. As we work towards the end of the session we will hope to agree on strategies for working with your emotions rather than against them.

This can be done in Person at my Park Square practice room, via Zoom or even over the telephone.
