About Me
Why Do You Want a Therapist
Maybe, you have struggled with the same problem for years. You kept hoping that it will just go away on its own, but it doesn’t, and it continues to affect you now. Perhaps a current situation in your life is bringing back, unpleasant feelings, sadness or frustrating behaviours that you can't figure out how to deal with. It's affecting yourself, others and those closest to you. Maybe you're experiencing something that you've never dealt with before, and your normal ways of coping just do not work!
Psychotherapy teaches us how to control our emotional life...
Many people of all ages and backgrounds seek therapy to make some kind of change in their life. There is no true "normal" for everyone, so if your experiencing distress, feeling a stuck-ness or overwhelm-ness, then trust yourself and get support or just tell someone – two minds are better than one. In our work together, you are the expert on your life, feelings, and experience - You will be in control of that change you seek; I guide you to help answer the tough question of “who am I” and “where do I belong” so you can have a “way of being” and have a sense of belonging that’s worth it – because you are!
...So is there an answer for me?
You find yourself having one drink too many...your spouse is on your case about your drinking...your motivation and energy is towards a preoccupation with self, porn, child modelling sites (illicit porn), using sex workers and other socially (and financially!) harming behaviours. You fear you might be caught
...you find yourself in a place of despair and you HATE yourself and you just can't stop...
Anyway (you tell yourself), all these events and actions confirm your belief of being a loser and a failure.
Stop! Right now, you’re not a loser or a failure, just scared, lonely and desperate...
My service provides assistance for people, who are struggling with the powerlessness of an addiction. I include men and women of all sexual preferences and age ranges and run a group for men who access illicit porn. Working collaboratively, using a non-blaming, integrative model, I teach emotional management control, specifically using psychological interventions and strategies for harm reduction, manage anger and reduce stress. Psychotherapy minimises relapse.
