Counsellor, MSc, MBACP

With much personal experience of a variety of narcissistic relationships and seeing similar experiences in many clients, my fascination with narcissism, narcissistic traits, and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) has developed. The common dynamic of the relationship with a narcissistic individual can involve narcissistic power, control and manipulation, leaving the other person feeling powerless, often believing that they are unable to be independent, and usually doubting their own mind, thoughts, and memories. I can also help clients, and carers of clients who are coping with brain injury and neurological disorders.
