About My Clients
You're feeling stuck. Stuck with depression or anxiety; stuck in the same frustrating patterns in your relationships, career, or elsewhere in your life. You may have tried therapy before, and it sort of worked, but not enough. Now you're ready to go deeper. Together we can engage in an intense and focused way to get to the bottom of your difficulties.
My Background and Approach
I'm not the kind of therapist who sits and listens without saying much. I will be active and engaged, challenging as well as supportive, committed to helping you achieve the change you need. My practice is mainly informed by ISTDP, an evidence based, intensive psychodynamic therapy, that aims to deepen and accelerate the process of therapy – because your life is precious, and you don't want to spend years, waiting to get better, when you're suffering right now! I've helped a lot of people change of the years, which is what makes this job so rewarding. But it's important you find the therapist who's right for you, so first we would meet for an extended initial session – kind of a trial therapy – to explore your problems in depth, and get a sense of how we might work together to help you.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in human beings and our potential, and I know how transformational therapy can be. Like a lot of therapists, my first experience of therapy was as a patient myself. Experiencing how therapy helped me in my own life was what inspired me to want to help others in the same way. Later on I discovered ISTDP, the evidence-based model of therapy that most influences my work now. I was amazed at the power of this method to affect change, both in my own life, and in the lives of the people I worked with. I've been passionate about this way of working ever since.
