Psychological Issues
Anger Managment
Anger can be a very useful behaviour. Ranging from annoyance or irritation through to intense rage, anger is very much a part of the fight/flight response to which we can attribute the survival or the human species in general and our forefathers in particular.
Clinical Interventions
I work hard to maintain a current and research-based therapeutic tool bag. I think that my most effective tool, though is the therapeutic relationship of respect and an ability to hear and reflect client’s strengths, and to recognise thier wisdom about their problems and their solutions.
Late Life Onset Depression
How does late life depression differ from depression experienced in earlier stages of the human life cycle?
Clinical depression is different to the occasional sadness that is inevitable throughout life as a result of disappointment, hurt or loss which causes minimal disruption of the capacity to cope with everyday life, passes with no intervention other than support from others, nurturance of self, positive distraction and time.
