Confidential. Long-term. In-depth.
These are the words I use to describe how I work with you either as an individual or as part of a couple.
This approach allows for a better understanding of personal histories that are often the foundation of the difficulties you’re experiencing.
Therapy is sought because there’s a sense that something is missing, wrong or just not satisfactory. It could be in your personal life, work situation, family or maybe a combination of these elements. Short term solutions are effective for certain problems, however if the issues are persistent and long standing then I believe you need a longer-term solution. That’s why a therapeutic approach that seeks to establish a trusting; secure and safe relationship is often the most effective way to address these concerns.
Our interpersonal interactions with others are at times both rewarding and difficult. When relationships are going well it is often hard to imagine a time when our intimate relationships could be challenging and or hurtful. However, these times do occur and while many issues can be resolved, over time the way a couple interacts with one another and family members can highlight a pattern of recurring difficulties. It’s at these times when working with a therapist can be beneficial in understanding the communication and behavioural dynamics that create these issues. The how and the why we communicate in a particular way leads to these issues, becoming aware of these patterns and changing them brings resolution to the concerns.
