Why Therapy?
Any of us may become scared or frustrated by events in our lives. Sometimes
parts of our lives just don't seem to be working out. We may become unhappy
and come to an impasse. It is inevitable that we come face to face with a
crisis of illness or loss. Some may have experienced a relationship
breakdown or disturbing dreams and memories. Any one of these can make life
seem overwhelming.
Even when
we find the courage to admit what's happening, those closest to us are not
equipped to help us. At these times it is often helpful to talk with a
trained counsellor or therapist.
Crisis is not required..
Many
people are interested in understanding how they have come to be who they
are. They wish to learn and to grow either mentally, spiritually, or in
their ability to be more in touch with what life has to offer.
Psychotherapy
can help you deal with ... Relationships - Anxiety & Stress -

My basic
philosophy
I
have an eclectic practice which is influenced primarily by, Relational, and
Self Psychological theories. I also draw on my years of experience as a
professional communicator and consultant. In my experience it's the safety,
trust, and appropriate attunement that evolves between the client and the
therapist which enables a person to begin to move forward in new, exciting
and healthy ways.

How We
Begin To Work Together
Clients
are referred by friends, previous clients, physicians, other therapists,
religious leaders, lawyers, etc. Self-referrals are also welcome.
Generally a first interview is scheduled to discuss reasons for seeking
therapy and to determine if we feel comfortable beginning to work together.
Fees, times, ethical issues, safety and confidentiality are discussed. Your
questions are welcome.In the first or second session we establish our goals
and focus for our sessions together. To initiate this process please phone
to discuss a personal interview.
Selecting a therapist is an important task. It should be done with care.
The client has the right to shop around and sample the people offering this
important service. Initial visits are frequently for the express purpose of
determining the appropriateness and the comfort of the working
relationship.
