Cultivating change - therapy

 

​

There is no one reason that brings someone to psychotherapy.

​

Sometimes it’s a response to unexpected changes in circumstances such as a loss, divorce, and other life transitions. It might be that you’re feeling that life is not as you wish it to be, or that you are struggling to get through each day due to stress, depression, illness, conflict, grief, or anxiety. Or it could be that you simply want to enhance your life, and improve your relationships with others.

 

My approach to psychotherapy is focused on creating a safe space for you to share, explore and understand thoughts and feelings, and how these manifest within your life, giving you a sense of personal control. My commitment is to work together with you to help you to explore ways in which new knowledge and insights can be adopted by you to gain healthy coping skills, and strategies for living your life more fully.

My particular areas of interest and experience include:​

​​

• STRESS & BURNOUT– having worked in senior roles for multi-national companies over several years, I have an keen understanding and empathy for those who are suffering from burn out and stress as a result of challenging careers, and a lack of work – life balance.

• CRISIS  – “why do I feel this way?” “What is the meaning of all this?” “How can I find hope?” These are questions that can reflect not just a crisis but also herald a new appreciation of your life’s potential.

• TRAUMA – having worked within the sexual abuse and trauma fields, I am able to offer compassionate and sensitive care to those suffering as a result of historical abuse and neglect.

• OVER-IDENTIFICATION with self, other or professional role - exploring change in a way that is affirming and safe
