"Healing comes from the natural healing force within us" - This is a principle that I always remember. It was recorded early in Greece, where foundations of modern medicine were recorded. Hippocrates was amongst those ancients that believed in this foundation of medicine.
When discouragement, "out of
sorts", "just not right", "getting nowhere" - or
"the same darned thing over and over" occurs, or simply wanting things
clearer, better, stronger, is when my services are wanted by people.
If you are to chose me to be your psychotherapist, then, after you have helped me to grasp a clear and coherent understanding of a your situation, my next task is not to "glue and fix broken parts" - a common fantasy. Instead, I can help you to develop inner understanding of yourself, which can facilitate a deeper insight into others, and aligning these towards the healing process. We can then create the experience and improvements towards greater well-being.
Learning of skills and tools, and of enhancing focused perception enhances this self-awareness and other-awareness.
For example, learning management of stress skills can give you a head start, whether this is accomplished through hypnosis, advanced relaxation methods, or meditative/mindfulness methods, all of which are within the realm of my experience and training.
As greater self-understanding, self-management and self-mastery are achieved, utilizing these skills to enhance a relationship becomes possible. Couple counselling, or "couples counselling", as it is if often called, or relationship counselling, marriage, or marital counselling builds upon these skills and awarenesses and add others, whatever may be needed to accomplish your relationship goals. Of course, only when you have learned to do your best can you then meaningfully evaluate the value to your of a relationship! And people coming from families that were dysfunctional usually have things to learn about how to be their best in a relationship, and about how to ask for the same in return!
Of course, when unprocessed troublesome
childhood experience are clouding your perceptions, causing you to feel anxiety,
doubt, or depression, then the patterns established back can be assisted by
various dynamic and cognitive psychotherapy methods:
* Classical, Jungian, Modern Jungian, Dream Psychotherapy
* Hypnotherapy, Art Therapy, and Dream Analysis/Archetype
* Cognitive Psychotherapy, Thought Pattern Recognition and Restructuring.
In consultation with you, we will find discover ways of assisting you that promise to be most effective.
We form a "working alliance", which is the essence of the therapeutic situation. Within the boundaries of time and role, I set my mind free, with you 100% the focus of my attention, and - different from most other situations - with no conflict of interest! This is a significant advantage to you, and is unique to working with a "psychotherapist in private practice", which is my role exactly.

I look forward to your enquiry, and to finding out about what kind of help I may be able to give you. I love my work, and will enjoy working with anyone who wants to better discover benefits that can be gained by enhanced awareness and self-training in inner-personal and interpersonal skills
