As a therapist with a Master’s in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) I work with individuals who often feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low self-esteem, or self-doubt—even if on the outside, they seem to have it all together. You might find yourself overthinking, putting pressure on yourself to be perfect, or feeling like you’re never quite “enough.” Sometimes, you’re not sure where these feelings come from. You may sense that old patterns, irrational thoughts, or unconscious beliefs are quietly shaping the way you see yourself and the world. You want to break free from that cycle, to feel more connected, confident, and calm.

Wherever you are. However you are. You are welcome. Yes, sometimes we just can’t do it on our own and we need help. Therapy is one way to resource yourself to meet some of life’s challenges. Crippling anxiety, overwhelming grief, black depression are sources of deep pain and dark suffering. They can also be as a consequence of early traumatic experiences or negative beliefs we hold about ourselves. To accept where you are is the first step in healing yourself. Hi, I’m Liam and I create a safe place for you to explore your world, where I meet you with compassion and non-judgement in a confidential setting.

Taking the first step in deciding to attend therapy is often the hardest part, it can be difficult to admit to ourselves that we may need the intervention of another to assist us on this journey. Coming to speak allows an individual to be heard in way that is specific to them, a singular , and not to fit the specifics of ticking the boxes. Speaking about your way of experiencing life and it's difficulties and challenges, can free up a person and allow them to look through a different lens.

I really understand how debilitating anxiety and depression can be, that relationships break down and how mind boggling it is for a victim of narcissistic abuse or to subconsciously carry around Intergenerational Trauma or navigate your daily life if you are Neurodivergent.
Maybe you are someone who has tried with some success to deal with your own issues but have reached the threshold of your own ability and now need a counsellor you can build trust with. You like to be independent and looking for professional help is not something you do easily. So maybe Today is the day! Inside yourself you realize the importance of resolving what is happening in your life so you can finally move forwards. You feel it's time to talk to an experienced accredited counsellor who is empathetic, who will listen non-judgmentally and objectively and give you space so you can make the right decisions for yourself.

I believe that each client is unique. This is an important element that must be addressed in finding a bespoke solution to the issues that hold them back from finding serenity in their lives. The disfunction that we manifest is like a toxic suit of armor that we wear to insulate us from pain and hurt not realizing that the armor rather than protecting us only delays the work we must do and hence the armour becomes its own disfunction. I am a Psychotherapist and Addiction Counsellor Accredited by both IACP and ACI. I offer individual counselling and psychotherapy with clients wishing to explore a wide range of issues.

For more than twenty years I have walked the path of healing, weaving together the insights of psychotherapy with the wisdom of Body, Breath, and Spirit. My work is integrative, grounded in Psychodynamic and Humanistic approaches, enriched by Somatic Experiencing, Reichian bodywork, Family Constellations, and Bioenergetics. It has also grown beyond the clinical, into a sacred space where esoteric spiritual teachings, crystals, and energy healing meet.

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.
