Psychological Care That Begins With the Person

People rarely arrive with just one neatly defined problem.

Sometimes the reason for seeking help is quite specific: persistent anxiety, difficulties at work, relationship strain, grief, chronic pain or concerns about attention and executive functioning. At other times several concerns have developed together and it is not immediately obvious how they are connected.

My work includes adults, couples and more complex or longstanding presentations. The starting point is to understand what is happening in context and to develop a practical, collaborative approach to assessment and treatment.

The six areas below describe some of the most common reasons people seek my help. They are intended as useful starting points rather than rigid categories.

Areas of Practice

What brings you here?

Select an area below to read more about how that difficulty may present and how psychological assessment or treatment may help.

Anxiety, Stress & Burnout

Worry, panic, depression, chronic stress, overload, insomnia and burnout.

Adult ADHD & Neurodivergence

Assessment and support where attention, organisation, executive functioning or neurodivergence may be contributing to difficulties.

Trauma, Grief & Difficult Experiences

Support following trauma, abuse, grief and experiences that continue to affect emotional wellbeing.

Relationships & Couples

Communication difficulties, conflict, relationship strain, transitions and family pressures.

Workplace Stress & Injury

Occupational stress, workplace injury, bullying, psychological strain and return-to-work concerns.

Pain, Health & Life Adjustment

Psychological care where chronic pain, illness, stress, coping and functional difficulties overlap.

When Difficulties Overlap

Not every problem belongs in one category.

Psychological difficulties often develop in relation to other parts of a person's life.

Anxiety may occur alongside chronic pain, trauma, workplace difficulties, relationship strain or sleep problems. Depression may arise in the context of illness, grief, injury or major life change. Attention and executive-functioning difficulties may become more obvious when work or family demands increase.

In these situations, a useful clinical understanding depends on looking at the pattern as a whole rather than treating each difficulty as if it were completely separate.

Complex presentations are welcome.

My practice includes cases where mental health concerns overlap with occupational stress, pain, trauma history, relationship strain or functional impairment.

Therapy & Assessment

You do not need to know which treatment you need before you come.

The first task is to understand the nature of the difficulty, relevant history, current circumstances, strengths and goals. Treatment decisions follow from that assessment.

I draw upon a broad range of psychological approaches rather than applying one method to every person.
