LGBT Friendly counseling service provider. My psychotherapy approach is based on psycho-dynamic, object relations, Satir, and client-centered. I offer a safe space to explore your thoughts, experiences, and feelings through verbal, projective and unconscious (free-association) means. The intention is not to offer advice or guidance, but to listen, accept, and perhaps gently challenge you, genuinely and without judgment, in your exploration of your experiences. You may come to find it easier to listen to and accept yourself, and to be able to make more genuinely fulfilling choices for yourself.

I hope to help you understand what your emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and body are trying to communicate to you. You can learn more adaptive ways of understanding and coping with your circumstances. With practice, it is relieving to reclaim your bandwidth and time to rest and pursue meaningful goals.

We all encounter a degree of adversity at some point - often many points - in our lives. Whether this adversity involves stress, loss, transition, trauma or general uncertainty - you don’t have to navigate these difficult circumstances on your own. I specialise in guiding my clients through these periods, by first establishing stability; and then working towards growth and greater resilience. Our focus might be developing new coping/relationship/interpersonal skills; building insight in to how early trauma or past experiences may be impacting you; or reconnecting to your sense of self and meaning/purpose, among other things.

They may want to move away from difficult emotional states like depression, anxiety, anger and loneliness or address repetitive and destructive behaviours such as substance abuse or sexual compulsion that are holding them back. They may also be overwhelmed by big transitions like bereavement, divorce or relocation and feel stuck, or unvalued, in their professional journey.

Interpersonal Counsellors

Is interpersonal therapy evidence-based?

Studies have found interpersonal therapy to be effective for life transitions including retirement, divorce, and job loss. Also, some studies have found it to be just as useful as medication and other therapy approaches. The benefits of interpersonal therapy can last long after treatment has been completed; the individual can use the tenets of this therapy throughout their life.

How long does interpersonal therapy take?

Interpersonal psychotherapy is normally time-limited and focuses on specific problems in the client’s everyday relationships. Treatment can be either one-on-one or take place in a group setting; it tends to last 12 to 16 weeks, depending on the individual client’s needs. If a new interpersonal problem arises in the future, the client may require additional therapy to address it specifically. The timeline and session schedule may vary depending on the client’s challenges as well as their progress. Treatment may conclude with wrap-up sessions to review the client’s accomplishments.

Is interpersonal therapy effective?

Research shows that interpersonal therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of conditions such as depression or anxiety. The approach may also offer a range of benefits that are hard to measure but valuable—including healthier relationships and improved feelings of self-worth. The therapist will give the client practical solutions that can be put into practice. The brief duration of this therapy also means that clients can see changes in their relationships fairly quickly.

What are the limitations of interpersonal therapy?

Interpersonal therapy may not effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as psychosis, chronic illness, or alcohol relapse. Because it is short-term in nature, it may not be the best approach for conditions that need to be tracked, though maintenance sessions are a viable approach under these circumstances.

Can interpersonal psychotherapy be done online?

Yes, interpersonal psychotherapy can be conducted effectively either in-person or online. A therapist with expertise in IPT will be able to adjust their techniques, such as role-playing, to better suit the online environment. Offering online IPT can make it more accessible for clients who have transportation difficulties; it also provides the ideal opportunity to explore challenges unique to digital relationships.
