Once you know exactly ‘what’ to do you will quickly regain control, find your feet, and move forward. I have over 30 years experience helping people and have been a consultant in charge of a major hospital Psychology Clinic. I have also worked in an Anxiety Disorder Clinic, and Family Therapy Clinic. This level of expertise allows for accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment. I employ practical, tested methods. When you are under stress it is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that you are powerless and that this is just the way things are. You will start to believe, “I’m not as capable as I once was"
You might even feel a strong desire to escape from your work or relationship. No matter what you are facing there are 'always' solutions. In uncertainty, when you do not know what to do, you can never go wrong by doing something that will make you stronger. You can never go wrong by seeing an experienced professional. (Face to face/Online/ or by Phone)
FEES: Vary depending on circumstance (Full fee; Low income; Unemployed - I keep a portion of my diary for Bulk Billing clients in significant financial difficulty).
