We all have times when we feel lost, alone or misunderstood. We want things to change but we don’t know how. Unsure of what we want we may talk to family or friends, but all they do is offer opinions. Sometimes we have no one to talk to and remain trapped in isolation unsure of own truth. This is where counselling can help.

If you’ve landed here, chances are you’re tired. And not just the “really need a nap” kind of tired, but the deep, soul-level exhaustion that comes from trying to hold everything together for too long.
Maybe you’re living with chronic illness, trauma, or the quieter kind of pain that’s harder to name but just as heavy to carry.
Maybe you’ve spent years being “the strong one” for everyone else and now there’s nothing left in the tank for you.
Whatever shape your story takes, you deserve a place to finally tell it and gently set down the weight you’ve been carrying, even if it's just for a little while.

Sometimes trauma can stop us from moving towards growth and experiencing the happiness that is already present in our lives. This cycle can create anger and frustration, which can affect our relationships and the good things in life. I’m a Trauma-Focused Psychotherapist, helping people understand their subconscious mind, which plays a significant role in decision-making and shaping our behaviour, often without our conscious awareness.
If you’ve been wondering “Why do I keep feeling or reacting this way?” or feel like you understand what’s happening but can’t seem to change it, that your subconscious mind.

Within my practice I provide a safe, non-judgemental, professional and confidential environment in which you can explore whatever you feel necessary. Through exploring these issues, we can both begin to understand what is happening and why. This process can assist in self-understanding which in-turn boosts self-confidence and compassion. With this knowledge you may then become empowered to make the necessary changes needed in your life to address whatever has been causing the discomfort.

Welcome.
As an experienced Psychotherapist I deal with a vast amount of issues.
Are you stressed with your home and/or work problems and find just everyday functioning really difficult. Do you think you should be able to cope? If you've ever wondered whether therapy is "for you", you're not alone.

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.
