What kind of problems can Psychotherapy help with?

Welcome to my website

 

 

 

I have been providing psychotherapy for a very wide range of presenting problems since 1992.

 

Since 1995 I have increasingly specialised in the field of trauma and dissociation.  

 

I believe that most difficulties that psychotherapy can address including trauma (see the side panel) have at their roots, experiences that the mind/body/brain has not been able to integrate into a healthy self-structure, or where development in some areas has become blocked.  In psychotherapy one works to resolve the specific problems and to build a stronger and more resilient sense of self.  

 

Short-term psychotherapy can in many cases be suitable for addressing the problems, for others, a longer period of time is needed.  This can be discussed at the first meeting, and a clearer idea gained after an initial assessment.  

 

For more about specific problems mentioned in the side panel, please follow links.

 

 

Working with trauma

 

These days there are excellent, effective and gentle ways of facilitating the healing process after trauma that lead in almost all cases to the resolution of the disturbing memory experience and all the related symptoms.   One does not have to live with it.

 

In most cases where a person has had a traumatic or disturbing experience,  the effects settle down naturally over a period of a few weeks, and although the event(s) will continue to be available to be remembered, they will no longer cause ongoing disturbance.  

 

Sometimes though,  the symptoms related to having had a traumatic experience do not settle by themselves, and cause ongoing distressing symptoms of post traumatic stress.  Suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder can happen to anybody,  it has nothing to do with degree of toughness of character.

 

I have trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), an evidence-based treatment recommended in the NICE Guidelines as a treatment for trauma, and  I also have training and experience in a number of related approaches which, together with EMDR form a holistic approach for trauma and/or more general problems.  

 

I also work with chronic traumatisation and dissociative disorders.
