Individual and Couples Therapy

The issues that I deal with in individual therapy include depression, anxiety, stress, adjustment disorder and post traumatic stress disorder. I also provide relationship therapy for married couples and couples in both gay and straight relationships.
My philosophy has many points of connection with positive psychology in that I work within a framework of health. This means that apart from instances of severe pathology, my focus is on identifying strengths and areas of health in clients.
My paradigm is systemic, which means I view behaviour and pathology against the background of the context that facilitates or maintains that behaviour, and it is also constructivist, in that I believe that realities are constructed and not absolute.
