Waitlist for new clients
Whether you need assistance with adjusting to a new chapter in your life, or acknowledging and working through a difficult history, I am comfortable and experienced supporting clients with challenges such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, personality disorders, grief, and relational conflict.
If you have never tried counselling, or tried and didn’t find it worked for you, please try again and experience what it is like to have someone caring and nonjudgmental hold space just for you and your story. I believe strongly that a trusting and safe relationship can make all the difference in therapy, allowing you to explore and develop insight guiding your growth and recovery. I strive to promote an atmosphere that encourages vulnerability, using strength based and emotionally focused approaches to support your journey, as well as incorporating CBT and DBT skills training when appropriate.

Personality Disorders Counsellors

What are the common treatment options for personality disorders?

Personality disorders are typically treated with psychotherapy, sometimes in conjunction with medication. Therapy can help people with personality disorders develop skills to tolerate difficult emotions, navigate interpersonal relationships, and solidify their sense of self. Medications can treat symptoms that co-occur with the disorder, such as depression, anger, aggression, and impulsivity.

When to seek treatment for personality disorders?

Even though treatment for personality disorders can be an uphill battle, it’s best to seek help if you suspect that you or a loved one is struggling with one, because personality disorders can create substantial problems in life. Symptoms depend on the specific disorder, but overall signs of personality disorders include consistent difficulty maintaining close relationships, dramatic variations in self-esteem, and an unstable sense of identity.

How long does therapy take for personality disorders?

The timeline for treating personality disorders isn’t as clear-cut as it is for other disorders. Change can be difficult, taking from around one year to five, 10, or more. The key is finding a therapist who has extensive experience treating the relevant disorder. For example, a psychologist who specialises in narcissistic personality disorder has specific communication strategies that allow them to sustain the relationship and be more effective with narcissistic patients.

Can therapy help people with personality disorders?

Research suggests that for those who are motivated to address concerns or interpersonal conflict related to a personality disorder, therapy is far more effective than no treatment, and that most people in therapy see improvements. However, since personality disorders involve entrenched elements of identity, they are less responsive to treatment than are other mental health conditions. Finding an expert who has extensive experience working with a given personality disorder is one factor that increases the likelihood of successful treatment.
