Experiencing narcissistic abuse can leave you feeling confused, anxious, and doubting yourself.
I understand the dynamics of unhealthy relationships and why we get stuck in them. For couples I help by developing healthy communication, having a safe space to process and discuss difficulties within the relationship. We look at what is going on and develop strategies, with empathy, to improve the quality of the relationship.

You may be struggling with relationships, often feeling rejected or misunderstood. You might live with anxiety, carry guilt even when you’ve done nothing wrong, or notice familiar patterns of self-doubt or low mood returning. You’re looking for a supportive, collaborative space to make sense of what’s happening and to focus on meaningful change. Through thoughtful, time-focused work, your aim is to feel more confident, connected, and at ease — both within yourself and in your relationships.

Counselling can be life changing because having space to talk about how you feel is never a waste of time - but feeling anxious, depressed or unhappy is! Maybe you want to talk to someone but feel unable to share with family or friends? Perhaps you are neurodiverse or suspect you might be and would like to know how to manage your symptoms? Or maybe you just want to make sense of the feelings you are experiencing. You talk, I listen and together we find a new way of being.

Hi, I'm Caitlyn. I know how overwhelming the search for a therapist can be - especially when life can already feel overwhelming. Many people turn to therapy because they are struggling with depression and anxiety, processing a loss, wanting to understand themselves better, longing to shift areas of stuckness, living with relational difficulties, or experiencing the aftermath of trauma. Therapy can be a place to engage with your story, be met in your pain, understand your patterns of relating, and feel seen.

Depression, anxiety, stress, loss and separation are some of the more difficult issues we come up against in life which can seriously impact the way we live our lives. My approach is psychoanalytically oriented with a focus on increasing self understanding and deepening insight into emotional issues

It’s good to talk. Voicing your issues and what is going on for you can be the first step to understanding your struggles, worries, confusion or pain. Are you struggling with something? Is there something you would like to understand about yourself? Are you feeling stuck? Are you feeling alone?

Perhaps you’re struggling with low self-worth, people-pleasing, overwhelm or a harsh inner critic.
You may find yourself losing yourself in relationships, constantly putting other people’s needs before your own or questioning your feelings, decisions and sense of self.
Many of the people I work with have spent years adapting to meet the expectations of others while losing touch with their own needs, values and voice.
Making themselves smaller, quieter, getting validation from approval or doing well at work… avoiding conflict at all costs.
I can help you to feel seen, heard and understood - perhaps for the first time.

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.
