Further Information

Psychotherapy is an interpersonal intervention used to help clients with mental health, emotional, and behavioural problems.  This process focuses on improving an individual’s sense of self and well-being and decreasing the effects of any difficulties they may be experiencing.

Psychotherapy can also help clients to come to terms with and move forward from a diagnosis of a developmental learning disorder.

Psychotherapists build a relationship with clients through a number of techniques including dialogue, empathy, and positive regard in order to help the client to improve their own mental health, emotional health, or relationships.

Psychotherapy is a structured process that occurs between a trained professional and a client.  Therapy is normally used in response to a range of clinical disorders or challenging or difficult life events.

I provide assessment of, advice about and ongoing treatment for clinical disorders, developmental disorders, personality disorders and the physical symptoms and psychosocial stressors often associated with them.
