If you are an individual seeking counselling, your issues may be related to recent events or stretch far back to past abuse or narcissistic trauma.
For couples and relationships, there may be seemly irreconcilable conflict and arguments, or repeated cycles of harmful words and/or actions. You may be suffering and feel trapped by the impact of a betrayal or loss. Alternatively, you may have come to a difficult transition in life and are not sure how to negotiate moving forward together.

My focus involves abuse, depression and narcissistic personality disorder, and the specific problems encountered by men, transgender people and women.
Psychodynamic therapy centres on the unconscious meaning of the issues you experience. It facilitates you in being conscious of aspects of your inner dynamics. Psychodynamic therapy aims to increase your self-comprehension to give you choices. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends counselling for depression.

I help people with a broad range of difficulties, and have particular experience in relationship problems, anxiety, trauma, CPTSD, dissociation, bereavement, terminal or chronic illnesses, addictions, infertility, the effects on clients of the narcissistic and borderline behaviours of others, and adult ADHD.
My therapy approach is existential - paying attention to the client as a whole person, rather than a cluster of symptoms. To do this I work with you to understand your experience of the world, and uncover hidden feelings which are preventing you from living as your authentic self.

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.
