Psychologist and psychotherapist.

Counselling and psychotherapy can help people to reduce suffering, recover from difficulty, and to grow. For example, during a crisis, psychotherapy can help individuals:

- Regain stability and relieve suffering 
- Seek solutions to get out of crisis 
- Build skills to manage and calm emotions 
- Increase self-confidence by reducing negative self-talk 

Once an initial crisis is passed, psychotherapy can strengthen resilience and build skills to handle stressful situations. For example:
- Learning to appropriately express and feel emotions 
- Gaining clarity about the deeper sources of personal difficulties 
- Developing stronger and more supportive relationships 
- Developing strategies to guard against relapse 
- Gaining personal growth

Personal growth work is offered for people who seek a deep awareness of themselves and their connections with others, so as to live a life that is creative, healthy, and fulfilling.

My primary approach to achieving these outcomes follows Gestalt Therapy theory. In a Gestalt approach, change happens through being more fully oneself. Learning through experience is emphasised. Progress is monitored using objective measures and self-report.
