“We create ourselves by what we choose to notice.

Once this work of self authorship has begun, we inhabit

the world we have created. We self seal.

We don’t notice anything except those things that

confirm what we already think about who we already are.”

Margaret Wheately

 

During my 15 years of experience as a psychologist I have been fortunate to witness how therapy offers a unique opportunity for increased self awareness, learning and change. As a highly skilled and experienced therapist I create a comfortable space where you can safely explore your issues, develop alternate perspectives and learn techniques to change thinking and behaviour patterns that are no longer serving you. My approach is skills focused as many clients tell me they understand their problems but don’t know what to do about them. With this in mind , I am outcome focused and my goal is to work with you so we can achieve the results you want . In therapy we will combine evidence based mindfulness and cognitive behavioural approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy together with systems based and psychodynamic approaches and positive psychology These frameworks are well researched and are shown to deliver results. I feel fortunate to be involved in such meaningful work and to have witnessed many people’s journey towards wellness and the life they want. I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully working with you.
