Counselling is a collaborative exploration and unwinding of life's challenges. All too often we are hurt by others or challenged by life experiences and our loved ones can only offer empathic support. With a strong foundation in working with the nervous system I combine talk therapy with EMDR and TRE to support change at a deeply implicit level.
The people who find me are intelligent and aware, they frequently have worked with traditional talk therapy but have found its natural limitations. Let's face it if you could have problem solved your way out of anxiety, depression and trauma you would have done it by now.

I find it incredibly gratifying and fascinating to uncover and understand the patterns in our lives.. how we think about ourselves, about others, how we expect to be treated, the ways in which we criticise and admonish ourselves. There can be so much happening that sits just outside of our awareness. What I try to offer in therapy is the space to uncover and explore these patterns, as a means of understanding what might be making us feel down, or anxious, or guilty.

Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Counsellors
What type of therapy is best for narcissistic personality disorder?
Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is best treated with talk therapy, which could involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, schema therapy, gestalt therapy, or similar approaches. A therapist will help a patient uncover the feelings that may drive their behavior and discover how to engage with themselves and those around them with greater empathy and understanding, fewer demands, and less defensiveness, with the goal of developing a more authentic sense of self that enables healthier relationships.
How do therapists treat NPD?
By developing a strong therapeutic relationship, and continually focusing patients on relationships, community, and connection, a therapist, through talk therapy, may be able to help someone with NPD change. In sessions, a therapist will help an individual achieve relief from their current stressors, including the treatment of co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or depression. A therapist may also help an individual to recognize unhealthy coping mechanisms, learn new ways of interacting with others, and eventually become able to feel and display empathy.
Can a narcissist be cured with therapy?
Therapy can be effective. After a serious setback or great loss, someone with NPD may be forced to recognize that they are not immune to life’s challenges. That can spur feelings of melancholy and depression that lead them to seek professional help. Once an individual decides to seek help, they have already taken a step that the majority of those with NPD never will. Still, people with NPD often quit therapy as they naturally resist feeling vulnerable, being challenged, or admitting to flaws.
How can you get narcissistic personality disorder treatment for someone?
It is notoriously difficult to convince someone with NPD to seek help. With their feelings of superiority, they may be unlikely to recognize or acknowledge that they have a problem, or that their problem is narcissism. Sometimes, they are aware that they are arrogant and that others resent them but they don’t see it as a problem because they are convinced of their superiority. People with NPD have trouble maintaining relationships, but family members and others who do feel close to them, and whose presence they value, may be able to encourage them to seek therapy.
