What situations and conditions can be helped?

The focus is the person not on the condition, but here is a list of some of the life-situations and mental states helped over the years:

• trauma, especially early relational trauma

• depression, anxiety, and bipolar states

• the effects of narcissistic, intrusive, or unreliable parenting

• sexual abuse

• difficulties in parental, work, sexual and caring relationships

• wanting creative expansion or help integrating powerful experiences

• questions around sexual identity and becoming oneself

• recovering from, or fear of, breakdown

• hearing voices

• agoraphobic or claustrophobic feelings

• obsessive symptoms

• sudden or bewildering setbacks in life

• boarding school and other early educational wounds

• worrying, compulsive, or criminal behaviours

• support through transitional or in‑between life stages

• my research interest is around historical/political/intergenerational trauma

This list is not an exclusive.

And there are some areas - specifically serious eating, addictive or autism spectrum disorders - where I will almost always refer people to specialist providers.

Depth psychology of this sort is for the very ill, the very well, and those in-between. It heals/facilitates growth by helping the unconscious reveal itself, safely and creatively.
