INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOTHERAPY
“Everybody is dealing with how much of their own aliveness they can bear and how much they need to anesthetise themselves.” -Adam Phillips.
Human beings are pattern-seeking creatures. We need to understand and make sense, at any cost. As a result we narrate and ‘story’ our experiences, and these stories become our internal working model of the world – formed at an early stage of our history – and define our ongoing, adult narrative. Psychotherapy can be thought of as the identification and critical analysis of these meta-stories and then the soothing, healing, and reframing of our experiences in the hope that we learn a new narrative and form a healthier and more secure internal working model.
I love watching people develop, grow, and stand up to their full height as a more robust, resilient, and secure version of themselves. Whatever your area of concern might be, let’s have a conversation. If your issue is outside my area of expertise, I will happily refer or recommend you to another, perhaps more appropriate, practitioner.
