Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Counselling in Cheltenham
I specialise in working with people who have experienced complex trauma, including attachment/developmental and relational trauma. I can also help with a wide variety of mental health difficulties, such as: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, problems relating to grief and loss, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anger problems, bipolar disorder and addictions. I also work with people who may have, or think they fit the criteria for, a diagnosis of personality disorder. I may be able to help with certain physical difficulties, such as medically-unexplained symptoms that may cause pain and/or discomfort.

I recognise that life is a journey that can sometimes be a struggle. Life in this modern world is often chaotic, stressful and moves at such a fast pace, yet our reptilian brains are still designed to deal with cave man threats. This can lead to our bodies being flooded with fight, flight or freeze responses. In time these can build and lead to conditions such as anxiety, depression and low level trauma if not dealt with correctly. Having the support to help you through is not always easy to find.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or a little lost. Perhaps you’ve noticed familiar patterns in your relationships, at work, or in your inner world that feel hard to shift or understand. These experiences often have roots in earlier life—shaping how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we cope with the world around us. You might be looking for space to pause, reflect, and make sense of what feels difficult. Therapy offers a gentle, supportive place where we can begin to explore these thoughts and feelings together. You don’t need to have the answers—just a willingness to begin asking questions.

Hello.

Individual therapy offers a place of honesty for the battles in our heads, from medical diagnoses and past trauma it may include, questions of sexuality, gender expression, and everyday negative thinking. As life changes, so can how we feel about ourselves, others, and what we want. At times we may feel alone, whatever our relationship status. Ruptures can affect trust, communication, emotional safety and leave us hurt &/or uncertain. Therapy provides space to reflect, reconnect, and find meaning in uncertain times. It can reduce anxiety, deepen our understanding, and support harmony between inner needs and the demands we face.

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.
