I work well with men and women who are lonely, depressed and feel isolated. People who have suffered some form of trauma in their lives. People who have had to be overly independent from a very early age and who have trouble maintaining trust in personal relationships including those with family members, spouses, partners, friends and work colleagues. 

 I have good success in helping people actualize: good self-esteem; fulfilling relationships and creative self-expression.

 I work with private individuals, couples and families. 

 Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about me, about how I work and how I can help you with your personal issues

Why long-term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy works for deeper personal happiness:

Psychodynamic therapy (also known as talk therapy) encourages exploration and discussion of the full range of the client's emotions. The therapist helps the client describe and put words to feelings, including contradictory feelings, feelings that are troubling or threatening, and feelings that the patient may not initially be able to recognise or acknowledge (this stands in contrast to a cognitive focus, where the greater emphasis is on thoughts and beliefs). There is also a recognition that intellectual insight is not the same as emotional insight, which resonates at a deep level and leads to change (this is one reason why many intelligent and psychologically minded people can explain the reasons for their difficulties, yet their understanding does not help them overcome those difficulties)

 Individuals overcome their difficulties in day to day living on a deeper level so that they can live fuller, more creative satisfying lives. Book Online
