You are able to decide who you are - and you are decided by the world you are born into.
Every single thing you think about yourself will be contested or confirmed by someone, somewhere.
It's a real pill.
Psychotherapy can help you navigate this and improvise new ways of doing things, better suited to what you need.
I can be something like your chauffeur.
Chauffeurs once stoked engines, before the word came to mean a driver. I will fuel your capacity to become your best possible self. Whatever you imagine, I can help you work out if you could be it, for real, and then maybe get there.
I have worked with people whose lives seemed completely transformed by the end of psychotherapy and others who made a change so small that few would notice it. Over time, however, their lives came to look and feel as different as anyone could imagine.
Life involves getting what you need, and understanding the part your emotions play in driving you to meet that need. Sometimes emotions send you off in the wrong direction, making you think you have to do things in ways that are not necessary at all. Psychotherapy helps you overcome the weird feeling of becoming a different you: one better suited to life now, rather than whoever you had to be in the past.
I always suggest a brief telephone call or online conversation to begin with, usually followed by an initial 50-minute session for which I do not charge unless you decide to continue working with me. If you decide not to work with me I will make every effort to try and find somebody else to help you.
Please contact my assistant, Anna, to arrange an appointment.
