Therapist. Straight-talker. A kind and compassionate psychotherapist and life-coach. Big believer in our innate ability to adapt…but that we need an incentive big enough to overcome our mind’s innate fear of change. It’s not enough to get rid of something we don’t want (like distressing feelings)……it needs to result in us getting something that makes us feel deeply fulfilled, that sparks joy! 

Through Matter I use my therapeutic training and skills, decades of life and business experience….and a sprinkling of shared humour and fun……to help people re-discover, or uncover, the things that matter most to them, their values and their unique strengths. I help them to use these factors to more easily learn techniques to reduce distressing symptoms and more effective ways of coping with issues. Then to create their own fulfilling, joy-filled life.   
 
We don’t need to be ‘fixed’ because we’re not broken, we’re human. With the right support, at our own pace, we are creative and capable. But we do have to make a choice…..to keep putting time and effort into the same strategy or to commit to change.  

So, the question is, “How’s your current strategy working out for you?”
