My approach to individual, addiction focused psychotherapy aims to meet clients where they are at, build a relationship with them, and use this as the basis for a supportive therapy which explores the deeper aspects of a person’s problematic behaviours, whilst maintaining focus on overcoming and managing the behaviours themselves. I see people face to face in Mayfair, W1 or online via the secure Zoom platform.
DIMENSIONWORX offers an online interpersonal group therapy session each week. Aimed at helping to explore and deepen understanding of the role individuals play in their relationships, as well as learning to be supported by and support others, group therapy is an effective way to improve mental health and wellbeing across a range of presenting issues.
Trauma can be one of the main drivers for addictive / compulsive behaviours. Using the BLAST technique (also referred to as accelerated EMDR) within the context of a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship, I have found that resolving traumatic memories can significantly support people in their journey towards healing and change.
I have a proven track record of helping individuals into the right treatment setting for them, and managing the journey into, through and beyond in-patient care. This can involve finding secondary and third stage facilities, arranging psychiatric referral, liaising with the family, and more. I DO NOT accept referral fees from any clinician or organisation I refer into - my aim is simply to help people get the right care in the right place, for them.
Increasingly gaining recognition in the field, body-based therapies such as Yoga, Pilates and Breath Work have a wide range of benefits for those seeking recovery. Increased awareness of emotions, access to feelings “stuck” within the body, increased abilities to regulate those emotions and feelings, and other benefits across a wide range of health and well-being elements mean that a big part of what DIMENSIONWORX aims to do is harness these often-overlooked resources in the cause of addiction treatment. I will work with you to establish the most suitable body-based therapy option for you, and arrange your referral to a trusted clinician.
