Questions?
Why do I need a therpist? I have good friends.
Good friends are wonderful!
Sometimes though, long-term issues can take up a lot of space in our friendships. With me, you can lean right in. You don’t have to worry about being “too much” or “too little” or “too sad” or “too messy”. This is your time.
What is the difference between counselling and psychotherapy?
Counselling tends to work with immediate issues that are troubling someone and is often short-term.
Psychotherapy typically explores issues at a greater depth. By working with underlying emotions, thoughts, feelings and experiences, long-term change can be created.
Both can be helpful at different times.
What is the difference between psychology and psychotherapy?
Psychology is literally “science of the mind”. It evolved from the laboratory.
Psychotherapy means “attending to the mind”. It evolved from the human-to-relationship relationship in a room.
Once again, both have something to offer.
Being integrative, I work relationally person-to-person using theories that have scientific support, as well as psychological understandings in my work.
At the end of the day, if you are happy with your therapist, no matter what their label, that is all that matters.
I’m too weird for therapy…
Not a question, but a common fear. And don’t worry; your “weird” is perfectly safe here. There are a million different shapes to being human. Providing an open accepting space is something I take very seriously. From my own life, I bring many experiences to the room. I have lived as a straight person, and now fully queer. I have had relationships in different configurations. I have a family member with limiting disabilities AND many strengths. I also identify as neurodiverse (with AuAdhd traits, hyperphantasia and “geolexia”- the inability to navigate geography).
Look, I’m just a bloke.
Great.
I can talk straight. No bullshit.
Just work towards your goals.
I am from an overseas country, and I haven’t have therapists understand my unique view of the world
It never feels good when the person you have trusted to help
What do you do?
Take a minute to write an introduction that is short, sweet, and to the point. If you sell something, use this space to describe it in detail and tell us why we should make a purchase. Tap into your creativity. You’ve got this.
