Counsellor/Therapist, L1 Internal Family Systems, Master of Counselling
This therapeutic approach allows individuals to understand and navigate the different parts of their internal system that contribute towards depression. By doing so, individuals can recognise and address their underlying thoughts and beliefs leading to a more integrated and balanced sense of self. This, in turn, can help reduce depressive symptoms and improve emotional well-being.
I have extensive experience in working with this clinical presentation; in private practice, various community settings as well as in schools, and corporate environments.
My work focuses upon an holistic view of the individual and their history. This means our focus is less upon individual 'symptoms' and alleviation of these, and more upon what the 'symptom' might be communicating about imbalance in the individual. This leads on to an examination as to what needs to change at the level of body, mind, emotion and spirit.
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist and Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist
Depression needs to be carefully assessed with respect to identifying the difference between longstanding clinical depression and reactive depression arising from particular stressful and disturbing events. In the former, a risk assessment is part of my approach regarding suicidal ideation and the need to work collaboratively with other professionals. In both types of depression I place importance on the impact of early history and traumatic events
