Areas of clinical interest

A client may be suffering the stress of illnessthe loss of a partnerdivorcea new environmentchanges in their work situationunemployment..... Faced with a major life change a client`s usual coping strategies may no longer be working for themand they may be experiencing anxietydepressionpanic attacksaddictive behaviourseating disordersinsomnia.......  I have participated in ongoing professional development in those experiential therapies which I have found of most benefit to the many clients I have collaborated with in making positive changes to their lives.  Schema therapy maps defeating emotional habits/patterns. Mindfulnessa heightened attention to the present momenthelps clients change negative behavioural patterns and reduce anxiety and depression. Focusinga technique of body awarenesshelps clients develop a 'felt sense' which allows for the transformation of emotional patterns which have been disempowering.  Art therapywriting a personal journaland working with dreams also provide clients with tools to break free of old patterns.
