A wish to get better, and a willingness to look inside oneself. These are the only essentials for success in therapy. I enjoy helping people with OCD and rumination to regain a sense of agency over their mind, people with depression to understand what is happening inside themselves that is causing their suffering and free themselves from it, people with PTSD to feel safe again and gain self-compassion and heal their nervous system, people with difficulty in relationships to understand what is happening and operate more smoothly, and helping people with many other difficulties to heal and move forward.
I mainly practice psychodynamically using Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), and I integrate the very effective EMDR. In ISTDP relief is found by identifying & putting aside defences & reconciling with feelings and anxiety underneath. I trained with Dr Michael J Greenberg to deliver Rumination Focussed-ERP (RF-ERP) for rumination/OCD/Pure O.
This short video gives a 2-minute introduction to me, my philosophy on healing, my vibe, and my approaches: shorturl.at/BKMT9 - Fundamental to the way I work is the belief that people can get better. People can recover from terrible psychological states. Not just manage their difficulties, but recover. Good on you for investigating ways to heal.
