Welcome.
As a person with a great variety of life experiences and resolved difficulties, let us talk and get to the bottom of yours. There is a solution.
It seems most who seek psychological assistance have
problems with relationships in general or suffer from ‘anxieties’ and
‘depressions’ and all manner of trouble that these produce in daily life. These difficulties are connected to
conflicting emotions that we harbor, whether consciously or most often, not,
with the important people in our lives.
We are thus held down and tend to arrange our lives such that past pain
is repeated unintentionally or may alienate people that we hold dear. Our problems arise from within ourselves; we
are therefore in a position to solve them… with help.
Treatment properly arranged shall make these destructive forces known and distanced through integration of our conscious and again, mostly unconscious selves. Upon improved self-knowledge and awareness can one cast off the burdens of the past and become the genuine and confident person best suited to navigate a complex world.
Psychotherapy is an artform; there is little science about it. People are not scientific and it is very nice that it is so.
I look forward to an initial communication.
Although I find the usual names of distress inadequate, I offer treatment for those that are typically so defined:
Anxiety disorders
Relationship disorders
Burnout
Depressions
Eating disorders
Neurotic disorders
Personality disorders
Psychosomatic disorders
Sexual disorders
Addictions
Obsessive-compulsive disorders

Methods of treatment
I prefer to treat patients/clients with the method of conversational psychotherapy in a 1:1 setting and here - if reasonable, desired and indicated – within the general parameters noted above. Of course, depending on your situation, other forms of conversational psychotherapy are available.
