When things feel heavy, confusing, and harder to manage you might notice anxiety, low mood, or patterns that keep repeating despite your best efforts. I work with adults and older adolescents navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, eating and body image concerns, OCD, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and grief. Some people feel caught in unhelpful ways of coping, while others are managing the impact of significant life transitions. Therapy offers a space to slow things down, and make sense of your experiences, so we can work together to understand what’s happening and move forward to wellness.

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, insightful individuals who are used to holding things together — often for everyone else. Despite this, they feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that keep repeating. Some are navigating relationship challenges or life transitions, while others are in the perinatal period, adjusting to pregnancy, early parenthood, or fertility difficulties. They’re often seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and a way to feel more grounded, connected, and in control.

We all fall on hard times. Darkness and malevolence are part of the human condition, and tragedy often strikes when we least expect it. The counterbalance is a deep human connection – a helping hand or guiding light. The first step to getting that help is often the hardest, and finding the right person is important. That help can be the difference, and it’s the reason why I became a psychologist.

Personality Disorders Therapists
What are the common treatment options for personality disorders?
Personality disorders are typically treated with psychotherapy, sometimes in conjunction with medication. Therapy can help people with personality disorders develop skills to tolerate difficult emotions, navigate interpersonal relationships, and solidify their sense of self. Medications can treat symptoms that co-occur with the disorder, such as depression, anger, aggression, and impulsivity.
When to seek treatment for personality disorders?
Even though treatment for personality disorders can be an uphill battle, it’s best to seek help if you suspect that you or a loved one is struggling with one, because personality disorders can create substantial problems in life. Symptoms depend on the specific disorder, but overall signs of personality disorders include consistent difficulty maintaining close relationships, dramatic variations in self-esteem, and an unstable sense of identity.
How long does therapy take for personality disorders?
The timeline for treating personality disorders isn’t as clear-cut as it is for other disorders. Change can be difficult, taking from around one year to five, 10, or more. The key is finding a therapist who has extensive experience treating the relevant disorder. For example, a psychologist who specialises in narcissistic personality disorder has specific communication strategies that allow them to sustain the relationship and be more effective with narcissistic patients.
Can therapy help people with personality disorders?
Research suggests that for those who are motivated to address concerns or interpersonal conflict related to a personality disorder, therapy is far more effective than no treatment, and that most people in therapy see improvements. However, since personality disorders involve entrenched elements of identity, they are less responsive to treatment than are other mental health conditions. Finding an expert who has extensive experience working with a given personality disorder is one factor that increases the likelihood of successful treatment.
