About me
Is your situation getting you down?
Do you experience strained or even unpleasant relationships in which the same old problems reappear?
You really do hold the key to a better future.
Many of your instincts will be good, yet, with a few extra psychological 'tools' to go forward, you really can create a valuable difference no matter if it's a family, friendship, intimate, employment or more general relationship that needs attention.
Relationships with children too, or even a new baby, can greatly be improved with the work you and I do. Tailored to you, a growing confidence in how to respond to the demands upon you, is valuable beyond belief. This is the quality of therapy that many seek but seldom find. The NHS could not afford to provide it and now have next to no staff remaining who had the skills.
A good therapy helps you manage life and relationships in ways the 'tick sheet army' are too unskilled to provide.
You may feel at your wit's end having tried therapies that failed to reach the core of the problem. Don't waste hard earned money on 'treatments' which only skim the surface of your life, then wear off within days, weeks or months.
I urge you not to underestimate yourself. All you need is already there.
A Little About Me
I am a highly experienced, dedicated and skilled Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist and Psychodynamic Counsellor. I have accreditation and am registered with the UKCP. I have been counselling for 21 years and delivering psychotherapy for 16 of those.
My clients are from every age group and walk of life. All deserve my best and get it! If you want change and you feel able to trust me, we will do great things.
You Are So Important - Don't Give Up!
I worked for 10 years as an NHS therapist. Free of those limitations, I now enjoy providing genuine care. Yes, genuine.
Over the last 16 years, NHS Trusts left thousands of people high & dry. Clients were frequently incorrectly treated. The modern curse of over-diagnosis has created an epidemic of 'labels'. It can be like walking in quick-sand.
'Big pharma' fooled the GPs'. the politicians and the media to generate a multi-billion pound drug industry which has widely created dependency.
A tragedy of our times is that many children are being damaged on a day by day basis by an absence of psychological wisdom, creating a void in their soul which make them easy fodder for exploitative commercial interests.
Life Is Complicated Enough Isn't It?
I apply so much attention to your story. This gives us invaluable clues to be able to turn negative thinking and responses into deep confidence and wisdom.
If you have suffered from discouragement or self-critical thoughts - it's time to pack them up and send them on their way. Allow yourself the freedom to believe in you. I will not judge and I'll help you to lower any sensitivity you may have to being judged.
I regard all people as being of equal. You will be welcome and will always get my very best care and attention. You are a human being with a magnificent and natural ability to advance. All humans have it - it's just that many of us were prevented from knowing how to access it.
You have the power to adjust and improve your life for the better.
If your therapist doesn't get this part right - it's just not therapy!
You And I Solve Mysteries
I know all too well about the complexities of family issues, co-dependencies, fears of abandonment and spiteful arguments that can become all too predictable.
I know about the struggles to deal with life, the letters, the deadlines and the daily needs that you might lose track of. I know that impulsive responses can take you down the same old path and leave you feeling demotivated.
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Can Move Mountains.
I know how couples may love one another but can find themselves in a battle to be heard as they get caught in painful and highly critical comparison.
At work, negative aspects of pressure can create a number of challenges. Sometimes we take these pressures home with us - it can infect the family. Let's learn to handle it safely.
You will learn how to respond with a cool wisdom - where you can master anger, fear and dissapointment in many circumstances, even if your own childhood was affected by insufficient praise or parental sabotage and hostility, or downright cruelty.
Whatever you reach for, we can go for.
Safe and Confidential
Here, no personal identifying information is stored on computers or devices of any kind.
I offer you what you should always have had in your life – privacy, respect, patience, the attention, the time, the place and the emotional space where your needs are at the very centre of everything.
Clients usually gain great confidence from the frequent insights. You and I will adopt a pace that's right for you
Look After You And The World Around You Will Change For The Better.
If you message me I will reply on the same day. We can quickly arrange a 20-30 minute talk on the phone - at no charge. If you then want to continue with therapy, we can set-up the first full session, online or in the therapy room - whichever you choose.
I will always respond quickly to your reaching out to me. Text and emails can be sent any time and day of the week or weekends if you wish. As soon as I pick up your message, I will reply.
Face to face sessions are in my consulting rooms.
We can meet in Canterbury or in Bridge in Kent where in each case, comfort awaits, warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Online sessions are via Skype or Zoom or MS Teams. They can be arranged quickly, especially where you feel the need is urgent.
I am confident you will feel totally respected and encouraged by my response. If a part of you is worried about taking this step, I can tell you that almost everyone arrives with a degree of uncertainty and usually can't wait to come to the next session.
Let's talk and see if we can change things for the better in your life.
Do contact me. It'll all be ok in time.
All my best wishes
Adrian
