I seek to support clients who are looking to make positive change in their lives. They may want to move away from difficult emotional states like depression, anxiety, anger and loneliness or address repetitive and destructive behaviours such as substance abuse or sexual compulsion that are holding them back. They may also be overwhelmed by big transitions like bereavement, divorce or relocation and feel stuck, or unvalued, in their professional journey. I see clients of all ages and from many walks of life, with a particular focus on men's mental health, working professionals, and members of the LGBTQ community.
I work across two core, complimentary modalities. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to ground present emotional realities in greater self-awareness and to build a motivating picture of the values towards which clients are drawn; and psychoanalytically-informed psychodynamic principles to go to the 'root causes' of difficulties in the past.
I'd love to hear what's troubling you and to work out together whether therapy can help. I offer a no-charge pre-screen call to ensure alignment of needs and methods, and am happy to on-refer if there are colleagues better suited to support you. Everyone has a story and even in the telling there is healing; but it's the chapters to come that matter now.
