Philosophy & Vision
I treat a wide range of general psychology problems in adolescents and adults and I have a particular interest in the treatment of Eating Disorders. Generally, therapy takes place within the relationship between myself and the individuals who are trying to understand what the difficulties are and how they can be resolved. The process maybe brief or long and depends on the time involved in establishing a trusting relationship that facilitates change for the better.
