What I Offer
If you are struggling to overcome painful problems or want to develop your potential and live a fuller life, it can be helpful to have a caring, knowledgeable and skilful person to talk with.
I have over 40 years’ experience in providing therapy and life coaching services, and I will make sure you feel seen, heard, and appreciated as a unique individual in all your richness and complexity. While I will help you understand the nature and origins of your problems, I will also help you see and use all your strengths and talents so that you can meet and overcome your challenges toward creating the life you truly want.
What I Can Help You With
Whether providing psychotherapy or life coaching, I take a whole-person approach, giving attention and care to body, mind, environment, relationships and spirit.
Find out more about how I can help you with:
Addiction
I can help you to build strategies to overcome your addictions using patience, perseverance, and support, so you can create and live the life you truly want.
Anxiety
This will involve learning ways to regulate your thoughts and physical reactions, restoring and maintaining a sense of calmness and control.
Men’s Issues
If you are considering psychotherapy, I will respect your masculine mode of thinking and challenge you toward being and becoming the kind of man that you really want to be.
Bereavement and Grief Counselling
We will take time together to honour your loss and the feelings you have about it, helping you to find your way back to a sense of passion and purpose in your life.
Life Coaching for Personal Development
As a Life Coach, I can help and support you to become the person you want to be and create the life you want to live.
Relationship and Couples Therapy
I can help you to form and maintain healthy relationships, develop key conflict resolution skills and how to cope when a relationship ends.
Depression
Depression can have a serious impact on many areas of your life, such as work, relationships, sleep, appetite, and health.
Stress and Stress Management
If you are experiencing excessive stress, we can work together to explore and understand the physical, psychological, interpersonal and environmental sources of your stress.
Self-Esteem and Confidence
If you have low self-esteem you may struggle with difficult and painful feelings such as shame, fear, and frustration. We will work together to understand and address the roots of the problem.
Do I Need Therapy or Life Coaching?
Psychotherapy and life coaching do have some things in common, but they are different in their emphasis and the methods they use. If we work together in psychotherapy, I will help you understand and resolve difficult issues that are getting in the way of feeling good and functioning in your daily life.
If you don't have any major issues that are causing significant distress, but you want more joy and satisfaction in your life, then life coaching would be our approach.
