My ideal client would be somebody who realises that their issues are negatively impacting their day-to-day life & disrupting their relationship with the important people in their lives. They would need an empathetic listener who would be non-judgmental and appreciate & understand their essential needs in order to function in a healthy manner. The client's goal would be to work with the therapist to help value themselves, raise their self-esteem & self-confidence in order to change their train of thought from negative to positive. The client would ideally want to feel safe and secure within their own thoughts, feelings & behaviours.

Life can sometimes be difficult. There may be times when we find ourselves experiencing stress, anxiety, panic, or struggling with extremely low moods or bouts of depression. Maybe you find yourself struggling with life's difficulties, often feeling isolated and alone, believing that there isn't anyone you can turn to, including work colleagues, friends or family. Maybe past experience has taught you not to trust anyone with your feelings. Or maybe you find yourself believing that no one truly understands what you are going through.

If you're here, you might be dealing with anxiety that doesn't fully respond to talking things through. Or a stress response that feels bigger than the situation calls for. Or a past experience that still shows up in your body, even though you understand it logically and have maybe already worked on it before. You want it to be different, not just to understand it better.
That's a normal place to be. Insight on its own often isn't enough to change how your nervous system reacts. Trauma and chronic stress live below the level of thought, which is why therapy that works with the body and nervous system can make a difference.

Individual therapy offers a place of honesty for the battles in our heads, from medical diagnoses (or not) and past trauma it may include, questions of sexuality, gender expression, and everyday negative thinking. As life changes, so can how we feel about ourselves, others, and what we want. At times we may feel alone, whatever our relationship status. Ruptures can affect trust, communication, emotional safety and leave us hurt &/or uncertain. Therapy provides space to reflect, reconnect, and find meaning in uncertainty. It can reduce anxiety, deepen our understanding, and support harmony between inner needs and the demands upon us.

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.
