Normalising Grief of High-Profile People: Why It’s Okay to Mourn Celebrities
When a high-profile person passes away, the public reaction is often grief. The sense of collective mourning
My ethos is prevention and maintenance. Consider the analogy of a bush fire – therapy aims to “back burn” to minimise catastrophic events occurring.
I’m here to work with adults (18-65 years) who are looking to normalise challenging times, increase their awareness, gain new coping strategies, and improve their wellbeing. I would best describe myself as a firm but fair therapist – a concoction of warmth, nurturance, empathy and transparency. Plus a side of humour (there is room for fun in therapy!).
Treatment is individually tailored to your needs, drawing on evidence based practices including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy.
