I also provide specialist support for people struggling with problematic AI chatbot use, including companion relationships, compulsive use, and AI-spirals that disconnect their reality (i.e. AI-associated delusions & psychosis).
The first step is an assessment of your current problems and their impact, which may include a diagnosis, and a formulation to understand them. In therapy we work together to overcome these problems and move towards your goals, whether that’s feeling safer, happier, calmer, more in control, less driven by the past, or doing more of what’s important to you.

Many therapies focus on managing symptoms — reducing anxiety, shifting unhelpful thoughts, building coping strategies. These can be genuinely useful. My approach works at a different level. It’s interested in why you keep finding yourself in the same kinds of situations, why certain feelings won’t shift, and why patterns you didn’t choose seem to run your life.
Most of us carry patterns that were shaped long before we had words for them. They show up in how we relate to others, what makes us anxious, what we avoid, how we feel about ourselves when things go wrong. Until those patterns are understood, they tend to repeat.

I am a psychotherapist and supervisor and have been working with individuals and groups for the last twenty years. For several years I was on the training committee at AGIP including two years as chair. I am currently the course leader for the Guild's diploma in psychoanalytic supervision. I would describe my orientation as psychoanalytic from within a contemplative perspective. By this I mean that I subscribe to the idea of an unconscious and believe events and attitudes from early life can impact on our lives today. I understand that an awareness of these currents helps to increase the choices available to us.

Are you someone weird and whimsical, who's wondering if all your magical traits- the intuition, the sensitivity, the way you notice everything, might actually be neurodivergence?
Do you often feel out of step with the world, like everyone else got a manual you never received? You might be autistic or have ADHD, formally diagnosed or still figuring it out, or simply have always sensed you were different.
You might also be caught in patterns costing you- overworking, relying on substances, pushing yourself past empty- coping strategies that once made sense, but now leave you depleted and disconnected from who you are.

Psychosis Counsellors
What’s the most effective treatment for psychosis?
The most effective treatment for psychosis is coordinated specialty care. In this model, a team of professionals works with a patient to address all aspects of the underlying disorder. This approach incorporates individual or group therapy, employment and education support, family support and education, medication management (which often involves low doses of antipsychotics), and case management to facilitate problem-solving as needed.
When should people seek treatment for psychosis?
People should seek immediate treatment at the earliest indication of psychosis. Symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized or blocked speech, and agitated body movements. Early signs that a person may be developing a disorder that will lead to psychosis include suspiciousness of others, memory problems and distractibility, an inability to think clearly, rapid or nonsensical speech, withdrawal from friends or family, aggression toward others, and sensitivity to bright lights or noises.
What if psychosis is left untreated?
Without treatment, psychosis can have significant repercussions, including injuries, job loss, homelessness, financial or legal trouble, ruptured relationships, and suffering for the person and their family. While early treatment for psychosis often yields the best results, there is no point past which it becomes useless to seek treatment. At any point, treatment can make a difference.
How do I get someone else to seek treatment for psychosis?
It’s extremely difficult to watch a loved one suffer from hallucinations, delusions, and other elements of psychosis—sometimes exacerbated by their fears of treatment. Have a conversation with them in a quiet space and maintain a calm, supportive tone. Share your concerns about behaviors you’ve observed, suggest treatment, and explain the potential benefits. Listen carefully to their responses. The person may not be ready after one conversation, but with time, they may come around.
