Only the wounded healer can truly heal –Irvin Yalom

Supervision

The decision to be a therapist is also a commitment to your own growth.

”Whenever we enter a room with another life in great torment, we will find no escape from our own despair. And we will find no way to hold down the elation we feel as a witness to another person’s transformation” (Kottler).

Are you feeling stuck as a therapist? Or isolated in your practice? Do you want to sharpen your conceptualisation of your cases? Or do you want to be more flexible, spontaneous and creative as a therapist? Psychotherapy and/or supervision can help you recognise your blind spots, self-deceptions, resistances and blocks. It can help you become more creative, honest and brave as a therapist. It is a form of self-care that can be energising and can add value to your work.

FOR THERAPISTS

Are you feeling stuck as a therapist? Or isolated in your practice? Do you want to sharpen your conceptualisation of your cases? Or do you want to be more flexible, spontaneous and creative as a therapist? Supervision involves the process of becoming more aware.

FAMILY THERAPY

I have a special interest in family therapy. Families are complex systems containing a myriad of possibilities for creative solutions to their problems.

COUPLES THERAPY

Do you want to improve the quality of your relationship or better your communications skills? Has an affair caused broken trust and major damage to the relationship? Are you in an emotionally or physically abusive relationship? Do you experience sexual difficulties in your relationship? Are you not sure if you want to stay together or separate?

INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOTHERAPY

I offer individual therapy to individuals of all ages (children under the age of 7 will be seen in a family context or referred for play therapy). I work with people who are experiencing certain difficulties in their lives
