In our modern society there are so many potential situations where life can become difficult without warning. Some people may have experienced difficulties throughout the whole of their lives, some may have experienced changes to their circumstances that have led to difficulties arising in their teens, 20s, 30s or further into adulthood. Some people may not even have been aware that their circumstances and experiences have led them to a place where they needed help. Whatever a person’s life experiences, everyone deserves an opportunity to heal, develop a stronger sense of self, or just understand themselves better.

Many of the people I work with struggle with overthinking, lack of direction, or feeling disconnected from themselves and others. My approach is practical and action-focused. We focus on building structure, taking responsibility, and developing resilience so you can move forward with clarity and a stronger sense of control. Alongside this, we develop emotional awareness so you can better understand what’s driving things beneath the surface and respond more effectively.

My approach to therapy is quite simple, if you are struggling with psychological or bodily issues you will want to feel safe in exploring them. I offer a place of safety and confidentiality to find meaning to these difficulties. The therapeutic relationship we develop will allow you to feel heard and for you to express aspects of yourself that have been hidden or you don’t feel great about. You might struggle in relationships or you are using less than helpful ways to cope. You might be suffering in silence or appear to others to be fine but your not. Talking in confidence without judgement can often alleviate some of this.

These issues can be challenging and overwhelming. My experience has shown that using a non-judgmental, open and honest approach enables clients to understand themselves and their lives better after understanding how to communicate. This skill begins on day one of therapy and can be applied to various life situations. I am honored to hear clients speak about what matters to them most, and to help them reach their full potential.

Looking after our mental health these days can be difficult, we can find ourselves prioritising other people and other commitments, leaving ourselves at the bottom of the pile. Finding the right therapist and the right therapeutic space is an important part of the journey. It’s about giving yourself the time and permission to feel and acknowledge what’s there, to begin making sense of it. Therapy isn’t about quick fixes — it’s about creating a space where healing can happen at your pace, in your way. That first step, just showing up, is already something meaningful.

Maybe you keep circling the same argument with your partner, or notice food and body image taking up more headspace than you'd like. Perhaps perfectionism leaves you exhausted, or a quiet sense of not being good enough or disconnected from others, follows you wherever you go. These are the patterns I help people untangle, whether you come on your own or as a couple.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, personality difficulties, or the effects of traumatic experiences, psychotherapy can help you better understand yourself, reduce emotional distress, and create lasting change. I provide a compassionate, evidence-informed approach using Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), a modern form of psychodynamic psychotherapy that helps people identify and work through unconscious emotional patterns that may be contributing to psychological difficulties. Many people carry unresolved emotional pain that can affect their relationships, confidence, work, and overall quality of life.

Personality Disorders Counsellors
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.
