People who are keen to re-orientate their lives in the direction of their values - towards what gives them a sense of meaning and purpose. Having a clearer idea of what really matters helps people motivate themselves - even to the extent of accepting the difficulties it may entail - to either change or persist - in behaviours that will move them in their valued directions. Typically, this approach can be powerfully effective in dealing with the pervasive problems of stress, anxiety and depression and other chronic issues where rigid patterns of avoidant behaviour have developed.
I specialise in mindfulness informed approaches to therapy - specifically acceptance and commitment therapy, ACT. My earlier training background was humanistic and this has integrated seamlessly into this cutting edge behaviour change therapy.
"We're all in this (human condition) together." I work with an approach that I have found to be extremely effective for me in bringing greater psychological flexibility to my own rigid patterns of self-defeating behaviour. My knowing of the approach is experiential - as well as being the subject of decades of study and qualification.
