Get to Know Me
At the heart of my work, I provide a confidential and safe space for those that are needing support and help to deal with what is going on for them in the present moment. As a psychodynamic therapist & counsellor, my values and attributes are to create a space for growth and a climate for which individuals can move forward and be capable of becoming their true self. I am congruent, empathic and very accepting of others and difference. I genuinely care for everyone I work with and work towards a positive outcome. I feel very grateful and privileged to work with every individual that crosses my path. We all have our own unique stories and lifestyle and I believe that everyone should be treated with kindness and compassion.
Therapy can be rewarding but can also be challenging. Therapy can involve talking about difficult aspects of your life and you may experience uncomfortable feelings which it is why it is important for you to find the right therapist for you. Therapy can also be full of hope, change for the better, recognizing existing strengths, seeing your life in new ways and having more clarity.
I specialise in Adlerian therapy and below is an overview of how Adlerian Therapy works
When It's Used
Adlerian therapy is an evidence-based approach that can be applied successfully in the treatment of any type of psychological disorder or mental illness. Adlerian therapy may be used in conjunction with other therapeutic approaches such as play therapy, art therapy, and culturally sensitive counselling, as it best suits the needs of the individuals involved. An Adlerian approach can be employed with children, adolescents, adults, individuals, couples, families, or other groups.
What to Expect
Adlerian therapy proceeds in four stages:
Engagement, or creating a collaborative relationship with your therapist
Assessment of your personal history, with an emphasis on birth order and early childhood memories
Insight, wherein the therapist helps you view your situation from a different perspective
Reorientation, wherein the therapist suggests active steps you can take outside of therapy to reinforce newly developed insights and perhaps learn even more about yourself and your capabilities
Overall, the focus is on reframing the attitudes, beliefs, and lifestyle choices that block success, so that you are more effective at reaching your desired goals.
How It Works
One of the core areas of Adlerian therapy is that individual behaviour must be explored within the context of a client’s sense of “fitting in” with their community, and society at large. In some cases, this extends to birth order and how one’s role within the family affects the development of one’s personality and future relationships.
