Most of my clients arrive for therapy at a time when they are experiencing a “crises in meaning”, “crises in ego” or "crises in relationship". This, I believe, is a "call to action" - regardless of whether the struggle is to do with a relationship, depression or anxiety.
I have had a lifelong interest in the psychology of finding meaning in living and in how people adjust, face their challenges, cope and live in alignment with their integrity and values. Having learned meditation practice at a young age, I also have a strong interest in the application of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy to all aspects of wellness

I work with clients who are struggling with a broad range of issues related to their personal development, relationships, family and experience of life. The initial session helps us clarify and delve into the issues at hand, and then collaborate to create a plan for the path forward. This can already create a sense of perspective and most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms with time.

My approach is usually solution focused in combination with the therapeutic modality or modalities that I believe are best suited to your personality and the issue that you are hoping to resolve or improve. In your first session, we'll explore what you hope to achieve from therapy to feel like it has helped so that we can refine the steps forward and map the progress being made.
