THERAPY

 

I work with a wide range of problems including: anxiety, panic attacks, depression, stress-related illness, post-traumatic stress, hyperventilation, insomnia and adults with a history of childhood neglect or abuse.

I devote my first meeting to obtaining the client’s story, identifying the presenting problem and clarifying the goals of therapy. At that time, I encourage my clients to raise any questions, and an overall brief plan of the structure of therapy is discussed.

Subsequent sessions may use a combination of different therapeutic approaches to address emotions, thoughts, behaviour and lifestyle, according to each person’s needs.

The number of sessions can vary, with some clients coming for relatively short-term therapy (6 – 8 sessions), while others seek more ongoing psychological work
